Subject: Issue with Generating Various File Formats Using GPT-4-Based Assistant
Hello everyone,
I’m currently using a GPT-4-based assistant (specifically ChatGPT) for various tasks, and I’ve encountered a significant issue with generating multiple file types. This problem has started recently, and it seems to affect various formats that were previously generated without issues.
Details of the Issue:
-
File Types Affected:
-
Word (.docx)
-
PDF (.pdf)
-
Excel (.xlsx)
-
CSV (.csv)
-
-
Symptoms:
-
The assistant attempts to generate and save these files but fails to provide a working download link or access to the generated files.
-
No specific error messages, but the files are not accessible or downloadable after generation attempts.
-
Questions for the Forum:
-
Possible Causes: What could be causing this sudden inability to generate and access a wide range of file formats using the assistant, considering that it previously worked fine?
-
Technical Limitations: Are there known limitations or recent changes in GPT-4-based systems (like ChatGPT) that might affect the file generation capabilities for these formats?
-
Workarounds: Are there any recommended workarounds or alternative methods for generating these file types using the assistant, or should I rely on external tools for now?
-
Troubleshooting Steps: What additional troubleshooting steps should I take to identify or resolve the root cause of this problem?
Additional Information:
-
Platform: The assistant is based on GPT-4 architecture.
-
Past Functionality: The assistant successfully generated these files before, so this issue is new.
-
Impact: This problem is affecting my workflow, as I rely on the assistant to create and format various types of documents and files.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community on how to resolve this issue or understand the potential causes.
Thank you!

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
-
Tried generating files with simplified content to avoid complex formatting, but the problem persists across different file types.
-
Switched browsers to see if it was a browser-related issue, but this did not resolve the problem.

-
Recent Changes: There have been no notable changes on my end, but the issue began recently after having successfully received these types of files before.
