I don’t get it. Why is ChatGPT text area two-lines? IMO works much better with single line

@nikitonsky mabe the designers asked the llm what to do. Maybe chatgpt wrote the frontend code on its own. You little human wouldn't understand the benefits of two lines. I guess the second line will stay at the sane area its on the bottom right no text would ever reach that empty space.

@nikitonsky Because in most UIs, text areas span more than one line to signal that they accept more text and can scroll vertically on overflow. Single line text inputs typically only scroll horizontally on overflow.

So the design implies that the input accepts longer text, even before interacting with it. That’s pretty good design actually.

@reimar @nikitonsky This and also it’s useful to have more space between the attachment button and the send button to avoid accidental activations
