> When you click Delete on a conversation, a PATCH request is made to /backend-api/conversation/05[redacted]2d with the body is_visible: false and gets a response of success: true back. This implies that a conversation is being soft-deleted, not deleted on their systems.
Ah yes, lying to the users by showing them a "trash" icon and actually just hiding the conversation from them.
What a superb way to build trust from your ivory tower of moral self-righteousness about how you've decided an language model can and cannot be used (which includes such hilarious bullshit as the model declaring it cannot make jokes about any particular group when asked to make a joke about women, but happily making jokes about men all day long.)
- jazzyjackson 4y agoWhy would anyone expect that their conversations with ChatGPT are confidential to the point where you could just delete the logs and pretend you never asked? Trash is just to drop it from your history, I don't care to keep every conversation, and I also don't care if OpenAI keeps a copy, why should I?
- doktrin 4y agoBroadly speaking, European citizens probably have a reasonable expectation for data deletion as per GDPR. I say broadly because I don’t necessarily think this particular UI interaction gives the impression of permanent data deletion.
- nl 4y agoSeems like deleting an email in most mail clients where it ends up in the trash. Or the same UX in filesystems. I think trying to make up some kind of moral outrage over this is a stretch.
