ChatGPT now knows what you do on other websites via ad collector

ChatGPT, the AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, has gained the ability to collect data on users' online activities, including what they do on other websites, through an advertising collector. This feature is available for users who have enabled the 'Browser extension' in the ChatGPT settings. The ad collector, which is similar to Google's ad collector, tracks user activity and shares it with OpenAI. This data collection has raised concerns about user privacy and the potential for misuse. OpenAI claims that the data is anonymized and aggregated, but users are still uneasy about the level of data being collected. The company's terms of service state that the data is used to improve the AI's performance and user experience.
