I think you are missing the entire point of this. It's not that it had sensitive data or anything of importance. It is that a .gov domain under the command of the self proclaimed M…

That is also my experience. I use ChatGPT to help me iterate a Godot game project, and it does not take more than a handful of prompts for it to forget or hallucinate about somethi…
