The longer my convo with ChatGPT, the more processing power is consumed

Hi guys, When the conversation is getting longer, my laptop starts heating up. Am I the only one seeing this? If not, why would that be?

Might be the javascript on the page

sure, but why would the JS not be scalable? Seems like a flaw on the frontend. The app is very simple and should not heat up an M3.

It's definitely a memory leak from the conversation API. It seems to keep track of browser state and to limit computation on their end based on the 'active' tab.

Do you have a source for that?

You nailed it! I think Openai Team needs to patch it.
