Is there any reason to believe that deleting a ChatGPT conversation is anything more than "UPDATE conversations SET status='user_deleted WHERE conversation_id=..."?
Don’t get me wrong, I am highly skeptical. I also am genuinely curious because it seems to be in their best interest to delete these records for a few reasons:
1. Adherence to their own customer-facing policy.
2. Corporate or government customers would CERTAINLY want their data handling requirements to be respected.
3. In my experience at $MEGA_CORP, we absolutely delete customer data or never maintain logs at all for ML inference products.
4. They’re a corporation with explicit goal of making money. They’re not interested in assisting LE beyond minimum legal requirements.

But still I wonder what the reality is at OpenAI.
