Does the US law have anything that guarantees you to have your data deleted from platforms? I don't recall that existing, so makes sense OpenAI does the bare minimum to be compliant in the markets they're active. Just like most companies.

California has a "don't sell my data" law, which may apply here. That's the only US law I can think of.

Unless OpenAI is stupid enough to gather medical data from protected sources under HIPAA, that is, but I doubt even OpenAI wouldn't be nonchalant enough to use a data source like that.

Sadly, no. But if OpenAI was interested in not being viewed as an evil corporation, it would be in their best interest to do it for everyone anyway, since they have a mechanism. I don't think they care too much about being well-behaved, though.
if OpenAI was interested in not being viewed as an evil corporation they'd be actually "Open", actually non-profit, and they wouldn't have cozied up to Microsoft.
