OpenAI’s ChatGPT: Privacy Panic or Just Plain Ignorance?
OpenAI ChatGPT users were shocked to find their searches popping up on Google. Yes, folks, AI isn’t just doing your homework; it’s taking notes! While OpenAI has removed the option to make chats discoverable, your questions could still resurface. Remember, even AI has a memory, and it’s not known for keeping secrets.
Hot Take:
Who knew that asking AI chatbots about microwave sorcery and your girlfriend’s interest level could lead to public embarrassment? Apparently, not most OpenAI users! Here’s a newsflash for you: When you hit that “Agree” button, you’re effectively signing a digital love letter to data retention. Spoiler alert: It’s not just OpenAI keeping tabs on your quirky queries—Google’s in on it too. So, before you ask ChatGPT if it’s socially acceptable to eat cake for breakfast, remember, your digital diary might just be a public one.
