OpenAI is retaining all ChatGPT logs “indefinitely.” Here’s who’s affected.
In a statement, OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap explained that the court order came in a lawsuit with The New York Times and other news organizations, which alleged that deleted chats may contain evidence of users prompting ChatGPT to generate copyrighted news articles.
So, uh, yeah, careful there kids, your chat logs are fair game for law enforcement, no matter what you think you've told OpenAI to do with them re retention.
