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...

@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
