That sentence is misleading. Many paying customers purchase mobile phones which exploit them. Many buy cars which exploit them, etc.

You can pay for something and be the product because surveillance capitalism is more profitable
This is also true. Televisions are my current pet peeve. Near unlimited invasive policies for every ‘smart’ tv on the market. And, if you just keep the tv off the network and use an external streaming box, most of them will annoy or nag or not work properly until you give them the acceptance to steal and monitor ALL of your data and viewing habits. It’s totally disgusting, and WHY is this even LEGAL???
It’s very frustrating, and NONE of the online reviewers for any brand of television even address the problem.

Are you not?

LLM’s already lie when confronted.

Have you not seen some of the manipulative behavior they get up to?

Put all the safeguards and Three Laws of Robotics you want on this ****, it will ALWAYS be jailbreakable, period.

this **** aint gonna end well.
It is safe to say that ANY creation of humanity, will by its very nature be duplicitous, and will certainly betray us to our misfortune. Our civilization simply lacks both the patience and foresight to take properly preventative measures for as-yet distant potential occurrences. Just look at the state of the planet, and tell me you disagree.
 
I didn't see that in the privacy policy when I finally downloaded it two days ago, and under Settings ChatGPT doesn't seem to access the microphone or request access to the speech recognition. Of course, plundering of voice is possibly buried in the policy legalese (or is somehow occurring despite no evidence in various settings), but their policy certainly seems on par with other apps that I use.
ChatGPT is still an experimental system. As you are interacting it, OpenAI should be certain you have given your informed consent, which entails, among other things, giving you information about your information will be used and the right to withdraw your information from their experiment (to the extent it can be removed). All of this should be written in easily understandable plain language, not the legalese crap in EULA's that would never make it past a proper research ethics panel.

AI experimentation on the public should be regulated in the same way as biological, medical, and behavioural research.
 
I‘ve been spending time learning about mythology the last few days, and this morning I thought I would use the Bing app’s chat function to answer some basic questions. It was not bad, but I noticed that in a couple of hours use it chewed through 50% of my battery and caused the phone to heat up a lot.

So I’ll be switching to the ChatGPT app for a while, I thought for a glorified browser the Bing apps power usage was just outrageous. Usually I last an entire day with 50% battery. Not sure what it was doing but hell no, if I want to use that kind of energy I’ll switch to my desktop.
