I don't think this article is relevant to what we're discussing here.

It says that The New York Times (NYT) is suing OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement, claiming that ChatGPT was trained on its articles.

What am I missing?

The core of the article. OpenAI is currently retaining all the chat data indefinitely - even for plus/pro users as s a result of a court order. Please read: https://openai.com/index/response-to-nyt-data-demands/

Gotcha.

Sam Altman actually said this on a podcast with Theo Von recently.

“So if you go talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there’s like a lawsuit or whatever, we could be required to produce that,” Sam told Theo.

He even asked Theo about his own ChatGPT usage, and Theo admitted he doesn’t use it much because of privacy concerns.

Sam’s response:

“I think it makes sense... to really want the privacy clarity before you use [ChatGPT] a lot — like the legal clarity.”
