Managing Your Data in ChatGPT - New Features from OpenAI to Control Your Conversations and Privacy


What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response. ChatGPT is trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), which means that it learns from the feedback of human AI trainers who rank its responses by quality. ChatGPT can answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.


ChatGPT is fine-tuned from a model in the GPT-4 series, which is a large multimodal model that can accept image and text inputs and emit text outputs. GPT-4 is the latest milestone in OpenAI's effort in scaling up deep learning and exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.


How to Turn Off Chat History

One of the new features that OpenAI has introduced is 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 the 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.

When chat history is disabled, OpenAI will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting them. This provides an easier way to manage your data than the existing opt-out process.


How to Export Your Data

Another new feature that OpenAI has introduced is the Export option in settings. This makes it much easier to export your ChatGPT data and understand what information ChatGPT stores. You’ll receive a file with your conversations and all other relevant data in email. You can use this file to review your past interactions with ChatGPT and delete any conversations that you don't want to keep.


How to Subscribe to ChatGPT Business

If you are a professional who needs more control over your data or an enterprise seeking to manage your end users, you might be interested in ChatGPT Business. ChatGPT Business is a new subscription service that OpenAI plans to make available in the coming months. ChatGPT Business will follow OpenAI's API’s data usage policies, which means that end users’ data won’t be used to train the models by default. ChatGPT Business will also offer more features and benefits for users who want to use ChatGPT for their work or business purposes.


Conclusion

ChatGPT is an amazing AI language model that can converse with you on various topics and tasks. However, it is also important to be aware of how your data is stored and used by ChatGPT. OpenAI has introduced new ways to manage your data in ChatGPT, such as turning off chat history, exporting your data, and subscribing to ChatGPT Business. These features give you more control and flexibility over your conversations with ChatGPT. We hope this post has helped you understand how to manage your data in ChatGPT and enjoy its benefits.
