OpenAI Launches Opt-In Computer History Feature for ChatGPT Mac App
OpenAI has introduced an opt-in feature called Computer History for the ChatGPT Mac app, available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. This feature logs user activities such as clicks, keystrokes, and app switches to create a searchable timeline aimed at improving session continuity and AI learning. While OpenAI emphasizes user control and privacy measures, including ignoring incognito mode and allowing data removal, some users have raised concerns about potential privacy risks, especially since the stored data is not encrypted.
