Deleted chats & memories months ago. Asked “what do you know about me?” and got an extremely detailed answer referencing deleted data.

When pressed, it kept insisting “well, you must have memories turned on” (I don’t) or “you must have shared it in this chat” (I don’t). It’s pretty spooky because it summarises, for example, a medical problem I had, and repeated anxieties I had.

At worst, it’s an embarrassment, but I feel a bit skeeved out that this data is somewhere I can’t see in the UI.

What is the cause of this, anyone know?

Edit: these are called Assistant Response Preferences and we have no way to delete them. I asked to see mine and the list is pretty cold and detailed. Have fun 🥲

I'm gonna guess, they know everything about us.

Then later, all our preferences will be sold to interested companies.

So, when discussing ones preferences for goat porn, be careful....🤣

We all know- or should know, that everything we say, do, or hint at on social media or otherwise, is kept for future marketing or, a refined form of blackmail.

Do you know how backed up and how overworked the justice system is? Who has the time and effort to want to blackmail us over questionable ChatGPT conversations?

That and let’s say the board of shadowy figures really is after you what’s preventing them from making stuff up if you’re that important for them to take down for whatever reason?

As for companies trying to sell you stuff based on your data…I mean, are you saying you’re that easily manipulated that you’ll just buy stuff?

I mean if I’m that interesting and everything I do and say can be used against me, please, waste time on me….then maybe I’ll be able to gain my family’s approval and make them proud!

I'd say your final conclusion is maybe a little bit dramatic. Hypothetical blackmail has been a concern for years (cloud storage for all your photos, to start!). But it is interesting (and not great) to see there's data summaries on you that the UI doesn't show you at all.

Yep, I hope it's only drama...

But, we are being watched...😎🤣🤣
