One of the biggest things to me is this is *on by default* and OpenAI not disclosing humans may read chats like this. I asked where they do disclose it, the company didn't answer. They did quietly update info telling people how to opt-out after I emailed them though www.404media.co/inside-proje...

404 Media asked OpenAI if it had explicitly told users that humans may review their prompts in order to improve ChatGPT’s responses, and if so, to point to where this disclosure is. OpenAI did not answer this question. Its website describes how humans may review flagged content in the context of material that violates the site’s terms of service, or that poses a safety risk, but that is separate to this sort of review. Its privacy policy also says it may use “personal data” to improve its models. If a user chooses to delete their ChatGPT conversations, OpenAI says it will remove these from its systems within 30 days, unless “it has already been de-identified and disassociated from your account when you allow us to use your Content to improve our models.”
OpenAI told 404 Media users’ chats won’t be used to improve the company’s models if they turn off the “improve the model for everyone” setting. This is turned on by default for free, Plus, and Pro plans, so users need to proactively turn it off if they wish to do so. OpenAI said this applies to users’ new conversations, so does not appear to work retroactively. Enterprise, Business, and Edu customers have the model improving setting off by default.
After 404 Media contacted OpenAI for comment, the company updated its help page about the “improve the model for everyone” setting, adding more detail on how people can opt-out. It still does not acknowledge that humans may read ChatGPT users’ prompts.
