How to stop OpenAI from using your ChatGPT chats to train AI in just 3 minutes

I criticized ChatGPT's privacy beginning in the chatbot's early days. The initial ChatGPT privacy fix wasn't good enough either.

But it's the more recent developments at OpenAI that made me dig into the issue a bit more. It's not just about the Sam Altman CEO drama we witnessed over the past few days. However, Altman's firing plays a role in my renewed interest in ChatGPT privacy. I want stability and transparency from a company that works on something as exciting and dangerous as AI.

More importantly, while the OpenAI factions were fighting their battles, ChatGPT engineers rolled out voice support to the free version of the mobile app. As I've shown you, ChatGPT seems to be confused about what happens with voice chats. It thinks it's not storing them, but then you see a full chat transcript appear in your history.

Now, if you've been using ChatGPT for the better part of a year, you know how annoying the ChatGPT privacy settings are. You can choose to stop your data from reaching OpenAI and training the future ChatGPT models, but that means losing your history. That's not good enough for me. I'd like more granular settings where I can choose what history to keep and what data to send to OpenAI.

It turns out it's very easy to keep your ChatGPT history and stop OpenAI from training the chatbot using your data. And it only took me 3 minutes to get it done.
