"However, McSherry warned that "it's only a matter of time before law enforcement and private litigants start going to OpenAI to try to get chat histories/records about users for all sorts of purposes, just as they do already for search histories, social media posts, etc.""
If this is a concern, is the the best course of action for McSherry to stop using ChatGPT.
We have read this sort of "advice" this countless times in HN comments relating to use of software/websites controlled by so-called "tech" companies.
Something like, "If you are concerned about [e.g., privacy, whatever], then do not use it. Most users do not care."
Don't use _____.
This is a common refrain in HN comment threads.
"OpenAI will have a chance to defend panicked users on June 26, when Wang hears oral arguments over the ChatGPT maker's concerns about the preservation order."
"Some users appear to be questioning how hard OpenAI will fight. In particular, Hunt is worried that OpenAI may not prioritize defending users' privacy if other concerns-like "financial costs of the case, desire for a quick resolution, and avoiding reputational damage"-are deemed more important, his filing said."
"Intervening ChatGPT users had tried to argue that, at minimum, OpenAI should have been required to directly notify users that their deleted and anonymous chats were being retained. Hunt suggested that it would have stopped him from inputting sensitive data sooner."
Any OpenAI argument that invokes "user privacy" is only doing so as an attempt to protect OpenAi from potentially incriminating discovery. OpenAI will argue for its own interests.
