I don't understand this? What is so different from ChatGPT compared to say Google scraping and storing the entire world wide web?

The "meat and potatoes" of this complaint seems to be GDPR regulations. I assume this applies only to the ChatGPT product of OpenAI, as their terms state that API data is not used to train the model but WebUI ChatGPT data is.

it's just the lack of a policy on user data collection that the users can read, the chance to ask to get their data removed from the training data - gdpr - and an age verification for the users.

> age verification for the users.

Do you need to verify your age to perform a Google search?

I think "age verification" is just another "think of the children" ploy to force all websites to check their users' government IDs (starting with sites run by people whose politics are different from those of the government that's enacting the ploy).

This makes sense to me. Thank you!

Why does it need to be different from Google in order to act against it?

[atsjie]

If they are the same, why hasn't Google been banned in Italy all these years?

There must be something fundamentally different between the two, and I'm not sure what it is.

It's new, foreign and confusing.

That's all it takes to be offending for conservatives.

I would call it very woke, exaggerating political correctness to the point of being clownish.
