Yeah, I see a ton of people all up in arms about privacy but ignoring that OpenAI doesn't give a rats ass about others privacy (see: scraping).
Like why one good other bad?
If something is able to be scraped, it isn't private.
There is no technical reason for chats people have with ChatGPT or any similar service to be available on the web to everyone, so there is no way for them to be scraped.
It’s not zero sum. I can believe that openai does not take privacy seriously enough and also that I don’t want every chat I’ve ever had with their product to be entered into the public record.
“If one is good the other must be good” is far too simplistic thinking to apply to a situation like this.
I personally just can't fathom the logic that sending something so private and critical to OpenAI is ok, but to have courts view it is not? Like if it's so private, why in hell would you give it to a company that has shown that it cares not at all about others privacy?
Interesting. It seems obvious to me.
I’ve asked ChatGPT medical things that are private but not incriminating or anything, because I trust ChatGPT’s profit motive to just not care about my individual issues. But I would be pretty irritated if the government stepped in and mandated they make my searches public and linkable to me.
Are you perhaps taking an absolutist view where anything less than perfect attention to all privacy is the same as making all logs of everyone public?
> But I would be pretty irritated if the government stepped in and mandated they make my searches public and linkable to me.
Who is calling for this? Are you perhaps taking an absolutist view where "not destroying evidence" is the same as "mandated they make my searches public and linkable to me"? That's quite ridiculous.
Discovery routinely leaks. Handing over every chat from every user to opposing council has both human, technical, and incentive issues that make it far more likely that something I told ChatGPT with an understanding of its privacy limitations will appear in a torrent.
This seems like an unhelpful extension of the word "privacy". Scraping is something, but it is mostly not a privacy violation.
