NYT to start searching deleted ChatGPT logs after beating OpenAI in court - Ars Technica

What are the odds NYT will access your ChatGPT logs in OpenAI court battle?

Court forces OpenAI to keep every ChatGPT chat, even deleted ones. After losing its bid to overturn a magistrate judge’s order, OpenAI must indefinitely store user logs so The New York Times and other news organizations can hunt for evidence in their copyright lawsuit—suspecting users deleted any news-paywalled experiments.

News orgs will soon dip into a small, keyword-filtered, anonymized slice of those records, with OpenAI and plaintiffs hashing out the exact search rules and deletion timetable. While this could bolster claims of market dilution and infringing outputs, it also puts sensitive private chats at risk, raising fresh privacy and security headaches for everyone involved.
