There’s an HTML tag <noscript> that you can wrap content in to be shown if the user does not have javascript available. It’s got nothing to do with the NoScript extension.
It did seem to be random. Hitting 'Reset Thread' and trying again gave me the author's original response back. I wonder what it was in my original thread that caused the model to expect javascript to be disabled.
Can ChatGPT know that I have NoScript enabled in Firefox? When my friend runs the same line in his chat, he gets the full HTML output like the author.
