I was asked about personal computer use
Specifically, whether I have used ChatGPT
The description provided is about what I use, not "alternatives"
Each computer user is free to use whatever software they want to use
I don't use ChatGPT
Using RePair for compression I can also search inside compressed tarballs full of logs
To do this, I first insert a blank line at the top of each log file before adding to the tarball
IME, RePair is faster than compressing with zstd and the size reduction is almost the same
The only "catch" is that RePair requires more memory during compression
"Have you used ChatGPT?"
No
Large number of upvotes on the quoted comment however. Maybe some of those voters are ChatGPT users
I do searching from the command line in text mode. The script I use keeps a "log" (a customised SERP) of all query strings and search result URLs. I also have these URLs stored in the logs from the forward proxy. These are compressed using RePair. I can search the compressed logs faster this way than with something like

Given that, I'd suggest not offering "alternatives" to the features described in TFA for a service you've never used. There are people here talking about oranges, a lot of them with domain expertise, and you're not just talking about apples, you're talking about bird migrations.

Sure, and also downvotes - that measures factionalism, not correctness.
But tech wise, you're confused. Functionally speaking chatgpt is a shared document editor - the server needs to store chat histories for the same reason Google Docs stores the content of documents. Users can submit text to chatgpt.com from one browser, and later edit that text from the app or a different browser. Ergo the text is stored on the server, simple as that.
They made the feature, now they get to live with it. So they can spare us the feigned surprise and outrage.
Instead of writing open letters they could of course do something about it. Even Google stopped storing your location timeline on their servers and now have it per-device only.
We’re talking about two different things. It would be like Gmail not storing your emails. Expecting ChatGPT to not store your chats is ridiculous
