Doesn't everything do this? If someone gets access to your hard drive, your fucked anyways. AI chat logs are about the least problematic thing on there.
Apparently MacOS apps can be sandboxed and store data securely such that no other apps can access it, in an encrypted format. I wasn't aware of this either, but it's been a while since I've used MacOS. It sounds like the ChatGPT app explicitly opted out from this sandboxing model.
So basically Apple wants to kill the filesystem on Mac as well.
