OpenAI has hundreds of contract workers reading your ChatGPT conversations

OpenAI employs hundreds of contract workers to review and rate anonymized ChatGPT conversations to minimize human-like bias and flattery in model responses. While these prompts are stripped of direct identifiers, they can still contain sensitive information shared by users. This practice highlights ongoing privacy concerns regarding how personal data is utilized for AI training and quality control. Users can opt out of having their chat history included in these review processes through their account settings.
