Unsecured OpenAI agents posted 53 user images on the internet without the lab’s knowledge

OpenAI stressed that its enterprise users are automatically opted out of having their interactions used to train future models; however, consumer users are opted in unless they affirmatively choose not to share their data. Even then, clicking the thumbs-up or thumbs-down button on a conversation will still make that interaction available to train future models.

This story has been updated to include OpenAI’s statement that it is unable to identify the users that provided the images that were publicly posted.
