> What is the purpose of OpenAI storing millions of private conversations

Its needed for the conversation history feature, a core feature of the ChatGPT product

Its like saying "What is the purpose of Google Photos storing millions of private images"

This is true but why retain deleted conversations?

  • That's the objection: The court order requires them to retain everything they currently have, even if the user requests that it be deleted.

  • ChatGPT (the app) specifically says they keep deleted conversations for up to 30 days. That's probably why.
