   The technology isn't anything new but, it's the context that makes it so uncomfortable.

   People have very different "expectations" of privacy when they're having a conversation with an AI VS when they're browsing something like Facebook

   Not to mention Facebook is free whereas you pay for a GPT subscription

      I don’t think there is any consistency in behavior. People react viscerally to the unproven belief that the Facebook app records conversations. They’ll also happily buy big TVs despite the fact they’re very much listening to you and we have solid evidence that it’s for ads or residential proxying. Most people have no idea how ads “follow” you, or how companies can figure out what you talked about by connecting the dots from other user metadata.
