Ok I ask chat GPT sometimes for advice in health / Fitness and also finance. Not like where to put my money but for general Information how stuff works what would apply here and there. The issue is already that OpenAI knows a lot of me. And ChatGPT itself when asked what he things I am etc draws a pretty clear picture. But I stay away from oversharing specific things. That is mainly my income and other super detailed data. When I ask I try to formulate it to use simple numbers and examples. Works for me. When working with coding agents I’m very skeptical to whitelist stuff. It takes quite the while before I allow a generic command to be executed outside of a sandbox. But to install a random skill to help with Finance Automation… can’t belief it. Under what stone do you have to live to trust your money be handed by an agent and then also in connection with a random skill?

You have "memory" activated in your settings. It is recording information about you and using it in future conversations. Have a look at settings > personalization
What does this matter? Even if I disable it I send enough of data. The point I tried to make was that it baffles me that others just trust theses tools. I’m aware that I send data to OpenAI. I know that chatGPT has a memory feature. But I’m not so naive to think that just because I disabled this magic checkbox the other side might not continue to collect and store data.
