Description:
OpenAIs new mid-response editing feature for GPT-5 Pro allows real-time updates during AI replies.
FULL STORY ======================================================================OpenAI has added a new feature to ChatGPT that lets users interrupt the AI mid-response Users can write context or corrections to a prompt without restarting, using the Update button The feature is aimed particularly at
those using GPT-5 Pro or Deep Research
Accidentally submitting a prompt to ChatGPT only to realize you forgot to include some detail or copied the wrong phrase from a website is a common enough occurrence. Even so, it's a real pain if you're using the GPT-5 Pro model or ChatGPT's Deep Research feature, because they take far longer to answer, and you might have a limited number of prompts to send.
That should be less of a problem now that OpenAI allows ChatGPT users to interrupt the chatbot midresponse. During the minutes that the AI is
compiling an answer, you can add new information and redirect its reasoning without having to start over. It's a way to steer the conversation in real time.
As the AI ponders how to answer your query, you can click Update in the sidebar and add any new context or clarifications, then watch the AI immediately adjust what it will say.
No restarts necessary. You can simply get ChatGPT to change its mind while
its still writing an answer now. You can now interrupt long-running queries and add new context without restarting or losing progress.This is especially useful for refining deep research or GPT-5 Pro queries as the model will adjust its response with your new requirements. Just hit update in the

Practically speaking, the ability to edit midresponse may save a lot of time for researchers and analysts who use ChatGPT for deep, multistep queries. Imagine someone writing a data analysis report only to realize halfway
through that one key source was outdated.
Before this update, theyd have to stop the model, rewrite their query, and rerun the entire thing. Now, they can just say replace 2022 with 2024 data
and watch the text update accordingly.
Thats a small miracle for anyone whos ever sat through a long, overly confident AI explanation, waiting for the model to finish just so they can correct one wrong premise at the start. For a system built on predictive
text, this marks a shift from simple back-and-forth messaging to a more interactive format. Real-time AI adjustments
Reducing time wasted by mistakes in a prompt or the AI's understanding of it is definitely something ChatGPT users will like. The update also continues ChatGPT's gradual evolution to a more adaptive service.
Since GPT4, users have been able to provide followup prompts, but the flow
has always run in turns. The continuous, overlapping feedback loop is more helpful as you're no longer waiting for your turn to speak. The AI listens as it writes.
In a sense, OpenAI is giving ChatGPT a sense of conversational humility. Earlier models were notorious for plowing ahead, even when theyd misread a question or misunderstood context. The update doesnt make the AI selfaware,
of course, but it does make it able to correct itself in a way closer to actual collaboration with a person.
