    If you don’t want your conversations to be public, how about you don’t tick the checkbook that says “make this public.” This isn’t OpenAI’s problem, its an idiot user problem.

      If you don’t want corporations to use you chats as data, don’t use corporate hosted language models.

      Even non-public chats are archived by OpenAI, and the terms of service of ChatGPT essentially give OpenAI the right to use your conversations in any way that they choose.

      You can bet they’ll eventually find ways to monetize your data at some point in the future. If you think GoogleAds is powerful, wait until people’s assistants are trained with every manipulative technique we’ve ever invented and are trying to sell you breakfast cereals or boner pills…

      You can’t uncheck that box except by not using it in the first place. But people will sell their soul to a company in order to not have to learn a little bit about self-hosting

        I don’t think OpenAI gets anything from this, I think they just failed to realize how stupid the average person is.

          They get more human written text, which is one of the most powerful things in their doomed attempt to forestall model collapse
