Why do you think your email is private? Is your email provider more aligned with your interests or more secure than OpenAI? I doubt either Google or Microsoft care about your privacy (no difference).
Of course Google and Microsoft is more secure than OpenAI.
And Google and Microsoft don't care about your privacy but they do care about being the only ones to profit off your data. OpenAI don't make profit off of your data, but they are collecting it; how they choose to make profit off of it in the future could be completely orthogonal to your interests.
Hell, China or any other of the numerous wealthy baddys could buy OpenAI and have access to all the data they're storing.
Homie, Bard from Google is trained on your Google Emails. They read your emails and build data profiles based on that shit and sell it. What are you on exactly? The US Government is more of a direct threat to you and me than the CCP and they actively buy your data and were reading all your emails not too long ago.
Huh? Google Bard is trained on your email data, and Microsoft de facto controls OpenAI and by extension ChatGPT via their 49% investment in the company.
Mine isn't private. I hand my email out to anyone who wants it, including search engines and presumably AIs. It's right there on my website. If you want my email, I'll happily give it to you.
Emails are "personally identifiable".
Your email can be used to link almost every online purchase you've ever made for example. That is what makes them dangerous, and it's what we need to change to improve privacy. It should be possible for companies to send invoices and shipping notices without linking the order to the customer's email address (or their name, or street address, or any other personally identifiable information).
We're a long way from being able to do that with invoices and shipping notifications but there's a lot of other systems where emails aren't necessary and shouldn't be associated with a record - even though emails are not private.
