ChatGpt uisng my own linux post to answer my own linux problem
A user encountered a touchpad 2-finger scroll issue on Gnome and sought a distro recommendation from ChatGPT. Unexpectedly, ChatGPT referenced the user's own old Reddit post discussing the identical problem. The user had anticipated a suggestion to switch to KDE, known for better touchpad controls, but was surprised by ChatGPT's ability to locate and utilize their previous online content to address their current query.
This incident highlights how ChatGPT can access and utilize a user's past online content, unlike previous AI interactions that typically relied on general knowledge bases.

Okay so this happened I was trying to find a distro to solve a problem I was facing (touchpad 2 finger scroll issue on gnome), I asked chatGpt to tell me a distro to hop which can solve this problem I was thinking it would tell me to switch to KDE as it has better controls on the touchpad but guess what ChatGpt found my old post on reddit discussing this same problem
