I'm sorry, but what?

If I give you my page and tell you to enter your credit card details in, why would you do it?

Why do people need to tell everything to the agreeing website?

    If I give you my page and tell you to enter your credit card details in, why would you do it?

    Because I'm paying for something?

    I don't know, it's probably circumstantial.

    Probably a lot of the data being shared is from chats, but not necessarily all of it. We know that OpenAI scrapes the Internet at large for training data, which would include data sets of publicly leaked PII (such as the OPM breach). It's entirely possible that the data OpenAI is sharing about users was not given to them voluntarily by those users, but has simply been aggregated, analyzed and correlated by their AI tools.

    If it's public, it's a given that Facebook and Google has all of that on you already.

    It's almost a decade since Zucc said in front of congress that they do shadow profiles, LLMs are not going to change that.

    What I do worry about is all personal stuff people overshare to the LLMs. From health, mental to financial and other secrets.
