    So basically the same kind of tracking that Facebook, Google, etc have been doing for decades?

      Similar, yes, but some people are paying OpenAI to be part of this business model, unlike typical free-riding Google and Facebook users.

        Derogatory "Free-riding users". "Free riding users" should have the same privacy as the paying ones.

          Kind of silly. You have to pay somehow. Either pony up cash or pay with your eyeballs or data. But I doubt paying will give you privacy either.

            Ads don't require pervasive and invasive tracking, and surveillance that Stasi would have wet dreams about.
