Consider AI prompts no different from Google searches: they can be subpoenaed.

And consider local LLM logs no different from your txt file or command history on your computer. Could still be requested for discovery.

Yes, but when you delete them, they're actually gone. So you can have truly ephemeral conversations if you don't want history to stick around.

Nothing saved, nothing to discover.

In theory you can have the same on incognito sessions (never stored, that's part of what Italian privacy regulator forced on OpenAI to do) and same for right to deletion as per GDPR.

How complaint they are I have no idea.

Incognito mode is what I use if I don't need to keep history around.

I'd never trust it to actually remove data.

As I said,I don't know how GDPR compliant they are.

I'd expect them to get rid of that data in a reasonable amount of time. Similar to what would happen if you actively deleted a single chat.
