OpenAI Introduces New Controls to Allow Users to Turn off Chat History in ChatGPT
OpenAI has announced new controls that will enable ChatGPT users to turn off their chat history. This feature will give users the option to keep their conversations private, without the risk of being used to train OpenAI’s models. The company also mentioned that it will not appear in the “history” sidebar.
New Controls to Ensure User Privacy
OpenAI’s new controls come after a bug was discovered last month that briefly gave ChatGPT users access to records of other people’s conversations. The incident resulted in Italy becoming the first government to ban the chatbot over privacy concerns. With these new controls, users will have an easier time managing their data and keeping their conversations private.
In a blog post, OpenAI mentioned that if users disable chat history, their conversations will not be utilized to train the company’s models. Additionally, OpenAI clarified that it will only inspect new conversations in case of any abusive behavior and will retain them for a maximum of 30 days.
Users Can Export Conversations
A new feature that will make it simpler for users to export their talks and find out what data is kept in ChatGPT has also been introduced by OpenAI. Users who opt to export their discussions will get a file with the information in it via email.
This feature will allow users to better understand how their data is being used and stored by OpenAI. It will also give users greater control over their data and provide them with an opportunity to delete it if they wish.
ChatGPT’s Growing Popularity
ChatGPT is a chatbot that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and natural language processing to produce textual output based on written prompts. This state-of-the-art chatbot outshines prior chatbots created in Silicon Valley in terms of its advanced and inventive technology. ChatGPT was unveiled in late November and received substantial attention from the tech community, with industry leaders and investors expressing their appreciation on social media sites like Twitter. Some enthusiasts even drew parallels between its debut and the launch of Apple’s iconic iPhone in 2007.
OpenAI declared its plans to launch a fresh ChatGPT Business subscription in the near future, as revealed on Tuesday. This new subscription is predicted to grant businesses access to exclusive features and functionalities that are currently unavailable to regular users.
Conclusion
OpenAI’s latest controls and export feature furnish ChatGPT users with enhanced authority over their data and privacy. As ChatGPT gains increasing popularity, it is crucial for OpenAI to prioritize user privacy and data safeguarding. With the newly introduced controls, users can be assured that their conversations are protected and secure.
