ChatGPT Group Chats Now Available Worldwide

by

OpenAI today announced the worldwide rollout of group chats in ChatGPT, allowing multiple people to collaborate with ChatGPT in a shared conversation. OpenAI started testing group chats with a small number of people last week, but the feedback was positive so it is now expanding the feature to everyone.

With group chats, ChatGPT users can create a shared conversation space and invite friends, family, or coworkers. Group chats are separate from private conversations, and OpenAI says that the group creator's personal ChatGPT memory is never shared with anyone in the chat.

According to OpenAI, group chats can be useful for planning a weekend trip with friends, designing a backyard garden, collaborating on design ideas, finding a restaurant that suits everyone's tastes, or settling debates. Group chats can also be used for research for school or work projects, incorporating shared articles, notes, and questions.

Creating a group chat can be done by tapping on the people icon in the top right corner of any new or existing chat. People can be invited by sharing a link, and anyone with the link can invite more people, with up to 20 supported. Group chats are aggregated in a clearly-labeled section of the sidebar, separate from personal chats.

OpenAI says ChatGPT was taught new social behaviors for group chats. It follows the flow of conversation and decides when to respond and when to stay quiet based on the context of the conversation. Mentioning ChatGPT in a message will prompt it to respond, and ChatGPT can react to messages with emojis.

Group chats are available to all logged-in users on free, Go, Plus, and Pro ChatGPT plans. OpenAI says that it will continue to refine the feature as more people start using it.

So ChatGPT which has been around for 3 years can talk to multiple people at once, and Siri which has been around for 14 years can barely speak to one ?

Wow bro - you cant talk like that about an Apple service on here - you’ll get suspended?

I know too many people that are insufferable in the way they use ChatGPT
It's becoming quite annoying. Especially those people who just put anything they see into AI and paste the answer into social chats as a truth, without any thinking.

I wish this bubble would pop soon, both to stop unwanted AI being rammed into everything, and also to return a little thinking to humanity.

The next person to inevitably write that LLMs are not "AI", "intelligent", "can't think", "just pattern matching", "word predictions", I challenge you to a public duel:

You vs Gemini 3 Pro in an intelligence contest. Maybe graduate college level math test?
re: math test - is basically just proving the point youre fighting against. Thats like having a duel with an encyclopedia, it doesn't prove anything.
put a real world problem, with subtleties, situational and uncommon edge cases, which requires actual reasoning and problem solving, not just filling in the already known blanks and things become very clear

No it does do calculations. In fact, you can even ask it to show you step by step how it arrived at the answer. Heck, you can even ask it to write a program that does the calculation.

This is how out of touch commentators are on Macrumors about state of AI.
It’s fine to be keen on AI, knock yourself out, but you should educate yourself about how they really work.
They don’t think or calculate anything.

As for your previous post asking me for an example, I can give you one from this morning.
For context I am a software developer, and I am very much aware of the strengths (and imo very big) weaknesses.

I was expanding the functionality of a certain service class which listens to updates from a few different repositories and does certain things with the data, in order to separate the concerns of different parts of the codebase into one point of access.

Now the problem, or better, idea of what was to be built wasn’t exactly trivial, and the solutions offered by the ai were, on paper, not stupid, and technically worked. But they massively over complicated not only the functions themselves, but the responsibilities of the class. We went around in prompt circles trying to fix this problem, as is always the case.
The fix?
Taking my dog for a walk and having the idea of a completely different way to architect the solution, using a separate class entirely.
I would have gone around in circles with the ai for hours and ended up with an abomination of coupling and over complexity, because they can’t, I repeat, cant reason, think, come up with ideas or real solutions.

It heard me say: I want to add this feature/functionality to this context, and it spewed out the appropriate slop for that scenario.
At no point is it possible for it to say - hang on a sec, is this a good idea? Maybe you should put this somewhere else or think about it differently. Because, why? It can’t think. It can’t have ideas.
