The news comes months after ChatGPT faced deserved criticism for its retention of chat history data; In May, Mashable reported on ChatGPT saving a user’s chat history, even if you can opt out of sharing your data to train the model. When I asked ChatGPT about the new search history feature today, it provided information about privacy, control, and visibility of data, saying, “Only you have access to your chat history, and OpenAI does not use these conversations to train you unless you expressly agree by logging in.”
Additionally, ChatGPT said, “If you prefer, you can turn off chat history entirely in settings. If history is turned off, conversations will not be saved or searchable.”
Notably, there are some things ChatGPT may not want you to be able to unearth, considering that the AI ​​chatbot has been accused of sharing lies in an election debate, being able to help disabled job applicants, and revealing trade secrets shared by Samsung employees. the platform. Being able to easily find receipts can cause more headaches for a company than it seems.
