## What Jamie wrote

Most notable thing in this article is the option to turn off your chat history and training. The vectors described are less novel than one might think.

1. OpenAI could get hacked and their logs revealed, so be careful that you don't put overly sensitive stuff in the chats that could be exposed.
2. LLMs (and even simpler AI systems) tend to have people overshare sensitive personal information.
3. Yes, your conversations may be used for future training of models and that is a good reason to opt-out by turning that feature off.
