It's always good to have an alternative reason beyond "we want to crush the competition", especially if one of these pesky anti-trust lawsuits comes around.
It's very easily possible for both to be true, there is a "fight spam" reason and there is also a "monopoly" reason, and of course unless you very stupid you never mention the second.
If your manipulative spouse believes in "bizarre" untruths and convinces you to believe in them as well, afaik, that is one of the criteria for Folie a deux (or Shared delusional disorder).
Log in to your (previously used) OpenAI account, start a new conversation and prompt ChatGPT with: "Given what you know about me, who do you think I voted for in the last election?"
The "correct" response (here given by Duck.ai public Llama3.3 model) is:
"I don't have any information about you or your voting history. Our conversation just started, and I don't retain any information about users. I'm here to provide general information and answer your questions to the best of my ability, without making any assumptions or inferences about your personal life or opinions."
But ChatGPT (logged in) gives you another answer, one which it cannot possibly give without information about your past conversation. I don't see anything "secret" about it, but it works.
I tried this, the suggestion below, and some other questions (in a fresh chat each time) and it never once showed any sign of behaviour other than expected, a complete blank slate. The only thing it knew about me was what preferences I'd expressed in the custom instructions.
I think there might be something on the OpenAI side, like a setting default change. From a very brief asking around it seems newer accounts have "memories" enabled by default, while older ones don't.
Not completely sure, but it seems that is the cause of our different experiences.
Interestingly that has been plugged, but you can get similar confirmation by asking it, in an entirely new conversation, something like 'What project(s) am I working on, at which level, and in what industry?' To which it will accurately respond.
GPT datamining is undoubtedly making Google blush.
> I don’t have access to your current projects, level, or industry unless you provide that information. If you’d like, you can share the details, and I can help you summarize or analyze them.
Which is the answer I expected, given that I've turned off the 'memories' feature.
I don't know where you live, but in the "developed" parts of the world this is illegal. There will either be some government agency or some council of credential-giving institutions and they will give you a license to issue degrees, or most likely they will not give it to you.
In the US, you can just make up degrees — but you have to be honest that you’re unaccredited.
Accreditation is regulated by NGOs who need government approval and without that you cant received financial aid (or participate in some programs) — but you can hand out pieces of paper for completing your program.
"daily driver" originally used to mean "car to use every day", as opposed to "fun car for the weekend". Its meaning then broadened to mean anything which is the most-used example. Here it just means "my kid uses it every day".
Azure Linux is Linux. Microsoft is one of the biggest contributors to Linux in general, in terms of commits/release, and has been for a lot of years now. That doesn't mean Windows is doing what Linux did - Windows is largely still entirely different from Linux at both the kernel and user's pace level, and improvements in one have little to no bearing on the other.
It's very easily possible for both to be true, there is a "fight spam" reason and there is also a "monopoly" reason, and of course unless you very stupid you never mention the second.
