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…

Good, maybe people will stop using it and switch to an open-weight Chinese model
If you use the app it’s still sending all of your data to the company that makes the model, I guess it depends if you prefer Chinese spyware or US spyware.
Step 1 - don’t use apps on a phone and instead use an appropriate open source sandbox on an actual x86 machine.
The mobile-focused development cycle and its consequences have been a disaster for user agency.
Could you repeat that louder for the folks at the back?
(Also, it’s a statement that’s generally true in ways completely unreleated to AI.)
At least they use your data to make a model that’s open weight
