Previously, OpenAI had vowed to stop what it deemed was the NYT's attempt to conduct "mass surveillance" of ChatGPT users. But ultimately, OpenAI lost its fight to keep news plaintiffs away from all ChatGPT logs.
After that loss, OpenAI appears to have pivoted and is now doing everything in its power to limit the number of logs accessed in the case—short of settling—as its customers fretted over serious privacy concerns. For the most vulnerable users, the lawsuit threatened to expose ChatGPT outputs from sensitive chats that OpenAI had previously promised would be deleted.

Seriously?

How the hell OpenAI can give access of millions of user's chats? Looks like they are going to do it and possibly the settlement would be in between 120M to 50 M.

Nothing to lose.

From the TOS:

Your content. You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms.

If the answer from ChatGPT violated the law, then you are responsible and you have caused breach of terms.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our Services or delete your account if we determine:
  • You breached these Terms or our Usage Policies⁠.

See? ChatGPT gave you a wrong answer and now you've breached the terms. We shall now suspend/terminate your account.

This is why one does not use ChatGPT. But if you do... have fun.
