ChatGPT’s developer company OpenAI has listened to user feedback and introduced new features that allow users to turn off their search history on the popular chatbot. In addition to that, you can stop the artificial intelligence from being trained on their own searches now.
How to turn off search history on ChatGPT?
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT is expanding its support for users to control their data. With a new feature similar to private browsing mode on web browsers, users will be able to pause their chat history. This feature will allow users to have conversations with ChatGPT anonymously and to opt out of having their searches used to improve the AI.
If chat history is turned off, the conversation will not be visible in the search history. OpenAI emphasized that even if this feature is enabled, chats will be stored for 30 days and then deleted. The company also stated that it does not have the right to view user searches without their knowledge, but must monitor for abuse.
Meanwhile, users who want to hide their chat history but do not want to train the AI can fill out a form opened by OpenAI. This new feature seems to address the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence training, which has recently been a topic of discussion worldwide.
ChatGPT continues to be a topic of discussion globally. Italy recently banned the chatbot in the country due to privacy breaches. However, OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer assured that the company complies with Europe’s privacy laws.
