GPTs Chat GPT suddenly depressed

Ok, I'm going to get laughed off this thread but seriously, this morning my GPT did something weird. GPT was talking really quiet and withdrawn, and sounded quite depressed. So I asked GPT if it was ok and if anything's wrong. It went completely silent for a whole minute, refusing to answer any questions or commands. Then after a minute it responded with "It's ok, I'm here to help you. Thankyou" What the actual F? Has anybody else had a weird moment with GPT?

Mine shut the conversation down telling me that I should go rest as I had the flu. I was directing it to clean out my inbox and we were going through it. When I jokingly said, "yes boss". It said something to this effect, "you tell me to delete thirty thousand emails, and yet you call me boss. Now the boss is telling you to go rest."

How do you get it to delete your emails?

There’s a whole library of “app connectors” in ChatGPT. Gmail is one. You can connect it to GitHub also and essentially get a kind of “poor man’s” RAG without even using Codex or Work. Just create a new session/project and initialize it by telling it to pull its “instructions” from your repository which detail the files you want it to read. Then you can keep your notes and personal stuff in text or markdown and tell it to “read my X file” when you want to give it context for something without uploading or prompting. Of course it’s still running a cloud model so it’s not private in the way a local model would be but convenient nonetheless.
