A user on Reddit has reported a persistent issue with OpenAI's Projects feature, where file naming conventions create problems for custom instructions and source document routing. When updating or creating new projects, the system automatically appends numbers like "(1)" or "(2)" to filenames, even after old files are deleted. This renaming interferes with the AI model's ability to access and process specific files, leading to errors or the AI generating incorrect information. The user suggests implementing subdirectories for each project to better manage file organization and prevent these naming conflicts. AI
IMPACT This issue could hinder the usability of OpenAI's Projects feature for users relying on structured file management for custom instructions and AI routing.
