Earlier quoted context omitted.

Part of being an engineer is making products that act the way the users want them to act. The fact that a Telegram bot owner can see everything the bot does is not what most users want/expect, and is therefore an engineering deficiency. Obviously fixing this deficiency isn't easy...

If users want something functionally impossible then that’s an education thing not a product thing. I fully expect that when I send text to a service that the provider can read all of it. Like of course they can, they have to process it.

A privacy protecting telegram bot isn't impossible. The code of the bot could be run locally on the users phone to generate the responses.

Or telegram themselves could run a "bot server", where bot owners could upload code to, but not inspect logs of messages going to/from each user.

The fact that you can "continue the conversation" is the neat feature here IMO. Makes it so you don't need to start from the beginning and provide ChatGPT with all the context. Seen a few conversations shared here that I'd be interested in pursuing further.

It's the same as copy-pasting the conversation, no?

I mean when you use the API (or the playground), you can go back and edit previous parts of the discussion and you see it as more independent chunks anyways. It's just an array of interactions.

Not really, the chats could be stored locally in session data.

You're incongruously confused about this for your username.

Everyone misunderstood me, I couldn't be bothered fixing it.

It's fun to hallucinate anyway.

You didn’t get the downvotes because of your viewpoint, but because no one really cares that you deleted your account without even providing a reason for it. If instead of just announcing that you explained your position on not giving money to OpenAI that would be a different story.

It also means our conversation is recorded by openai, doesn’t it?

Your conversation history in a thread is the entire prompt for each new question you ask. When you log in, you can see all of your prior conversations. So, yes.

This post reminds me of when I encountered people that were surprised to learn that the owner of a Telegram bot can read all messages sent to the bot.

Yeah, PEBKAC bugs are the hardest to fix.

"Because, trust us"

Honestly the moment a packet leaves your device privacy is gone.
