OpenAI reportedly has hundreds of contract workers reviewing ChatGPT conversations
404 Media reports that OpenAI employs hundreds of contract workers to read real ChatGPT conversations and rate them on a one-to-seven scale, reportedly to curb flattery and overly human-like behavior. Prompts are said to be anonymized but can still include sensitive data, and the "Improve the model for everyone" setting that allows review is enabled by default unless users opt out.
