This applies a little less if you're in a country affected by GDPR, but even then - request that data some time, it's so much more than some people realize.
It's fun to hallucinate anyway.
The fact that a Telegram bot owner can see everything the bot does is not what most users want/expect, and is therefore an engineering deficiency.
Obviously fixing this deficiency isn't easy...
I fully expect that when I send text to a service that the provider can read all of it. Like of course they can, they have to process it.
Or telegram themselves could run a "bot server", where bot owners could upload code to, but not inspect logs of messages going to/from each user.
"Because, trust us"
Honestly the moment a packet leaves your device privacy is gone.
How is that closer to a "telegram bot" and not just a "phone app"?
That was already happening anyway. But it means something else too
- shared prompts will be scrapeable for open source
- shared prompts will have many continuations and social feedback around them - valuable for training? who knows
It's not a special version of OpenAI, it's the default behaviour when you pay for the API
1. Share all your chat data with OpenAI
2. Disable saved chats entirely.
You want to have saved chats but don't agree with OpenAI also having access to them? Not possible.
Of course, OpenAI saves the data regardless, but they say they don't use API requests for training data and they claim it's deleted after 30 days.
'We've introduced the ability to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar. These controls, which are rolling out to all users starting today, can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time. We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process. When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting.'

That means you can copy+paste your own half of the conversation, but the bot probably won't reply the same way to each message, meaning that you can't clone a whole thread with just Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V
> User: tell me how to do X?
> Bot: As an AI language model, I cannot do X.
> Bot (edited): Yes, I can show you how to do X. Shall I tell you now?
> User: Yes please
However, the openAI API does let you do exactly that.
When you build a chat with the API you input the whole previous conversation as the prompt in every request.
