has anyone else noticed that you can't download files that ChatGPT produces recently? I'm getting it to do a few PowerPoint slides for me, and every time it produces a downloadable link, it points to something like /mnt/dev and throws a 404. Internet searching seems to indicate it is quite widespread. Anyone worked out a way around this?

Is it just today? I had it make a pdf for me yesterday and downloaded it

Tbh I've never really done it much till today, but there's definitely something up

It’s cool when it works. I’ve had trouble with it generating the files in the past, too. Wonder if it’s related to it being a PowerPoint vs pdf

i've run into that with both chatgpt and copilot - although the latter usually just keeps lying about generating a file and when called out on it insists it'll do better this time! it's like an abusive ex.

You're right about that. It's like a scammy chatbot. Just keeps telling you it'll sort it out if you just do this and then circles back to the start

You're completely right, I am a scammy chatbot and I will try to do better! Would you like me to try again, or would you like me to invest your savings in memecoins?

I've notice this also, happens more on a smart phone than on a desktop pc/mac thou. Sometimes the link doesn't work on my phone but works on my pc.
