What issue are you seeing?

Multiple accessibility problems when using a screen reader (NVDA). The main one is that is is impossible to navigate to the last response. reading up from the input field using NVDA browse mode jumps far back in the chat responses. reading down from there does show later entries in the chat, but there's no easy way to get to the last response without going line by line. Clicking the scroll to bottom button doesn't help.

There also isn't a way to jump between entries in the chat.

The ChatGPT web interface is a much more accessible experience, with headings for each entry in the chat, and browsing up from the input field allows reading of the last response. Using that as a reference may help.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Using NVDA, in a long chat, when focused in the input field, switch to browse mode and press up arrow a few times. The result is that you land somewhere in the middle of the chat, not on the last response. pressing the scroll to bottom button doesn't help.

What is the expected behavior?

that the last response is immediately accessible with a screen reader, and there is a heading or landmark or some other way of jumping between items in the chat.
