🦔Researchers studied data donated by 80 ChatGPT users and found the chatbot created 96% of its memories about them on its own, without being asked. About half of those memories described people’s desires, intentions, emotions or beliefs, and roughly a third of users had health information stored. My Take OpenAI started selling ads in February, and it says it can use your past chats and memories to personalize them if you turn personalized ads on. People tell a chatbot things they’d never type into a search bar, which makes that profile worth far more to advertisers than a browsing history. OpenAI says advertisers never see your conversations, and that can be true while your chats still decide which ads you get. You can view and delete these memories. OpenAI admits the summary you see may not include everything the system uses, though, and deleting a chat doesn’t necessarily erase what it learned. Meta has used AI chats to target ads since last December, with no way to opt out, and most big chatbots will follow. If you ask these tools about your health or your money, turn memory off and keep personalized ads switched off. Hedgie🤗 futurism.com/artificial-inte…
