Chat history can be disabled in the settings menu, temporarily or permanently at least for Plus users, not sure about free users…

You have two options in the settings menu: 1. Share all your chat data with OpenAI 2. Disable saved chats entirely. You want to have saved chats but don't agree with OpenAI also having access to them? Not possible.

  I use ChatBot-UI to achieve something like 1 and 2 together. It runs locally and uses the OpenAI API to provide a ChatGPT-like experience, but the chat history is saved locally in the browser. It also has a useful prompt management sidebar. Of course, OpenAI saves the data regardless, but they say they don't use API requests for training data and they claim it's deleted after 30 days. https://github.com/mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui https://github.com/mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies

    I've been waiting for GPT-4 API access for several weeks now. As soon as I get it I'll try something like this but who knows how long that will be.

It disables it for you. But I would not bet on it also disabling it for OpenAI and even if it does today there is no guarantee it will be like that tomorrow.

  It is deleted after 30 days, the same as their API

    You know this how? Because they say so or because you've audited them?

As per this OpenAi blog post April 25, 2023. 'We've introduced the ability to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar. These controls, which are rolling out to all users starting today, can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time. We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process. When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting.' https://openai.com/blog/new-ways-to-manage-your-data-in-chatgpt https://openai.com/blog/new-ways-to-manage-your-data-in-chat...
