ChatGPT Introduces Git-Style Conversation Branching
OpenAI rolled out conversation branching in ChatGPT, letting users fork a chat at any message into parallel threads that preserve prior context. Useful for brainstorming and testing different tones, the feature works like Git for conversations and tackles limitations of linear chat interfaces. It underscores that chatbots offer mutable perspectives — helpful tools, not fixed people — while reminding users to watch for hallucinations.
