Here’s How ChatGPT Is Targeting You With Ads

Now, that doesn’t mean you can just enter a single email and force your message on one person over and over again.

Per 404 Media, it’s unclear if OpenAI hashes the raw user data that is uploaded to its platform, meaning that information theoretically could be sitting exposed—though the company does claim to delete all uploaded files within 24 hours of processing the data. Gizmodo reached out to OpenAI for additional details regarding how it allows advertisers to target users with ads, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
