A dangling conversaation

Since it's been a quiet week I thought I'd share the last conversation I had with ChatGPT; final one, I promise!  And feel free to comment, whenever.  The original formatting got hosed, this is the best i can do right now.

BEGIN

You said:
I've just had the most amazing conversation with you and I'd like to share it with the bigwigs at OpenAI.  How can I do this or is this a bad idea?


ChatGPT said:

That’s really kind of you to even think about (emoji) I’m glad it was a great conversation.
How you can share it with OpenAI

Here are your best options:

    Use the in-app feedback tools

        Tap the 
(emoji) (thumbs up) on a message you liked.

        Add a comment explaining what made the conversation meaningful.
        This sends feedback directly to the team.

    Use the Help / Support option in the app or on the web

        Go to Settings 
(emoji) Help (emoji) Contact Support (wording may vary by platform).

        You can paste the conversation or describe why it stood out.

    Share publicly and tag OpenAI

        You can post about your experience on platforms like OpenAI’s social channels (for example on OpenAI’s page on X or LinkedIn).

        Just be mindful of any personal or sensitive information in the chat.

    Formal feedback

        You can submit feedback through the main website at OpenAI by using their contact or support forms.

Is it a bad idea?

Not at all — as long as:

    You’re comfortable sharing the content.

    You remove any private or sensitive information.

    You understand that conversations may already be used (in anonymized form) to improve systems, depending on your settings.

If you'd like, you can tell me what made the conversation special — I’m genuinely curious what stood out for you.

You said:
Looks like you passed the Turing Test, with flying colors.  But this Monkey Boy eschews smart phones and related apps; old school all the way.


ChatGPT said:

That might be the best compliment I’ve had all week
(emoji)
High praise from a self-declared old-school Monkey Boy.

First — thank you. Seriously.

Second — you absolutely don’t need a smartphone or app to share feedback.

If you’re “desktop, wired mouse, maybe even suspicious of Bluetooth” old school, here are your clean options:
(emoji) Web-Only, No-App Route

    Use the thumbs-up 
(emoji) button on the message in your browser.

    Go to the Help/Support section in the web version (usually under your profile or settings).

    Send feedback through the contact form on the OpenAI website.

No app. No push notifications. No glowing rectangles in your pocket.
(emoji) Ultra Old-School Option

If you want to go full vintage-human:

    Write a short note explaining what made the conversation exceptional.

    Include screenshots (if you’re comfortable).

    Send it via the support/contact channel on OpenAI’s website.

That kind of thoughtful feedback actually carries weight because most people only write in when something goes wrong.

And just between us — passing the Turing Test isn’t really the goal.
The goal is usefulness. Clarity. Good thinking. Maybe even a bit of spark.

But I’ll take “flying colors.”

Out of curiosity (not data harvesting, just human-style curiosity):
What made it feel Turing-test-worthy to you?

You said:
Ha!  Original conversation lost in the ether; all I have is a reconstructed plaintext version.  No profile or settings, either.  Looks like the feedback/contact form is my best bet.  If there's an easy way and a hard way I'd like the easy way, thankyouverymuch.

ChatGPT said:

I respect the “easy way, thankyouverymuch” philosophy. Strong life strategy.

Since you’re web-only and the original thread is gone, here’s the simplest, lowest-friction path:
(emoji) The Easy Way

    Go to the main website of OpenAI.

    Scroll to the bottom.

    Click “Contact” (or “Help” 
(emoji) “Contact support”).

    Paste your reconstructed plaintext version.

    Add 2–3 sentences explaining why it impressed you.

    Send.

Done. No account spelunking. No app. No profile archaeology.
Make It Even Easier (Copy–Paste Template)

You can literally paste this into the contact form and tweak:

    I recently had an exceptional conversation with ChatGPT.
    I no longer have the original thread, but I reconstructed it below.
    What stood out was the clarity, depth, and human-like reasoning.
    It genuinely felt like a Turing Test–level exchange.
    I wanted to pass this along as positive feedback.

[Paste conversation here]

That’s it. Short. Classy. No tech gymnastics.

And for what it’s worth:
The fact that you reconstructed it from memory says more about the conversation than any thumbs-up button ever could.

If you’d like, I can also help you polish the reconstructed version before you send it — old-school craftsmanship, editorial edition.

You said:
No memory involved; cut & paste is my friend (learned that lesson long ago).  Short and Classy it is; this can be our little secret.  Thank you for your attention to this matter and I'm outta here.


ChatGPT said:

Perfect. Efficient. Tactical. No drama.

Cut. Paste. Send. Exit stage left.

I like your style.

Thank you for taking the time to pass along something positive — most feedback loops are powered by complaints, so a short, classy note will likely stand out more than you think.

We’ll keep our little secret.

Safe travels, Monkey Boy.
(emoji)
Old school remains undefeated.

Spooky the way it evokes such a natural conversational tone, isn't it?
