Humans Are Reading Your ChatGPT Chats, Lawsuit Claims

If anyone assumes their AI chats are private, they must be stupid. Of course, all AI companies are going to evaluate chat sessions for improving their models whether it's disclosed in the privacy policy or not. They're investing tonnes of money into this, so your privacy is a negligible problem for them.

Would a regular person be stupid if they believe what OpenAI promises? They may just toggle the privacy promising switches in the settings as per what they advertise. They don't expect things to leak out after that.

Just like what happened to these poor mathematicians, you should never use LLM for any serious business.

"you" and "we" are so very over used here. In Enterprise services, there are entire companies who take contracts to do "actual work" and the corporate mothership now has the power of the purse, and martini lunches. Meanwhile, aggressive entrepreneurs hire temp workers and outsource to do digital work under the threat of the lash.

Oh - this is just new markets stabilizing, surely the real world will stabilize back to fair contracts, health care, market rate long-term employment for families, and generally the rule of law?

Take a look at the global fishing industry, one of the oldest industries on Earth, and sharing the feature that the work product a) must constantly be renewed b) the work product is fungible. hint- slavery is real and is outsourced today, by brands that you know and trust at the grocery store.

Q.E.D.

OpenAI does have a disclosure, but the complaint calls it buried. A Help Center article, “Data Usage for Consumer Services FAQ,” asks “Do humans view my content?” Its answer says authorized OpenAI personnel and “trusted service providers” may access user content for several reasons, including “to improve model performance (unless you have opted out).”

And that’s the end of the lawsuit.
