Just clarifying, does this report mean it’s collected while a user is using the tools, or data that is generally scraped from the internet?
They’re talking about what is being recorded while the user is using the tools (your prompts, RAG data, etc.)
Does that include generated responses?
Nobody knows! There’s no specific disclosure that I’m aware of (in the US at least), and even if there was I wouldn’t trust any of these guys to tell the truth about it anyway.
As always, don’t do anything on the Internet that you wouldn’t want the rest of the world to find out about :)
Did a personal data export for chatGPT and it included the complete conversation, not just my input.
