ChatGPT will now predict your age based on how you interact with it
It seems now #openai is doing age estimation too based on this email I received,
After Google who made the “Age signals API” into Android phones, now OpenAI will “predict your age based on how you interact with our services”.
No, I don’t want #chatgpt to analyze my age, thank you very much, (I always used the privage chat mode anyways, whatever impact it actually has on the data they use), so I will now switch to an alternative that doesn’t do that : https://chat.mistral.ai/
Don’t misunderstand me, protecting children is a good idea, but if that implies having to be analyzed by an #AI and having your experience change based on that, I’m heavily against it.
Although it’s convenient, if it starts analyzing my behaviour as well then I guess it will be a good time to start thinking a bit more on my own and only rely on AI as a last resort solution…

I recommend duck.ai as an alternative way of accessing ChatGTP. Is not a perfect solution but it’s better than accessing it straight from the OpenAI website
Similarly, Proton has Lumo
lumo.proton.me/
That link appears to be broken on my end.
Looks like the hyperlink got messed up. Added the full url
Okay I see the url now thanks. I didn’t know proton had an AI. Seems neat.
I recommend just searching for what you want and reading the results yourself.
Yes but sometimes using AI like this is so much easier. I find it really useful in troubleshooting tech problems because you can tell it your specific setup and iterate on solutions until something works. So much easier than reading through 1,000 StackExchange threads which approximate your problem
Just make sure you practice safe searching, son. We love you.
I do too. But if someone really does want to use these tools then there are better and worse ways of doing it
True, that’s a good point
@ageedizzle I plan on using https://chat.mistral.ai/ since it’s a completely different model that is open source and based in france so regulated by GDPR. If you still use ChatGPT but from somewhere else, it kinda defeats the purpose to switch away from it, in my opinion.
It’s better from a privacy perspective. But yeah, you’d still ultimately be using ChatGTP at the end of the day so another model might be preferable
“Le Chat” lol idk why this looked funny to me. Thanks for the link!
Extra funny when you learn what Chat GPT sounds like in French (chat, j’ai pété)
Of course it’s not weird that “chat” is chat in French, but it’s also cat which is silly
