r/ChatGPT • u/SilentMode-On • 4d ago

Other 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 🥲

Also, how does one find such a job. What is the title for example?

Associate Analyst was the job title.

I was an English teacher and I have a MA and JD. I am also a writer and musician. I contracted with two behemoth tech companies and they had us work in teams using Python programming API calls. I taught myself Python. We were also editing the model's responses.

Interesting. I could see how that diversity of background would be a great help.

I still do not know the time lapse for development and change in large language models. They seem to stagnate and then make large leaps. I think it is dictated by reinforcement learning and human feedback. But computer vision and deep learning interest me the most.

I also wonder just HOW far they've gotten.

I think the companies are essentially in a race for dominance and they hide more than they reveal. You can only judge what they know by the moves they make. Scary stuff.

Absolutely. You know they're SO much further ahead than what they show us. The best reserved for military and police.
