Is It Time To Leave Chatgpt?

I took this from another broker's newsletter, thank you John! I've heard of this as well and was looking at things a bit more close as I use Chat for a few things in my life. 

Recently there have been some concerns expressed about OpenAI’s decision to let the U.S. Department of Defense deploy the company’s AI models in its classified network, and somewhere in excess of 1,500,000 users have left.

Should you find yourself in a position where, for various reasons, you want to leave there are a couple of things to consider. There is an alternative to Chatgpt and it is called Claude. My early experience with it is leaving me impressed. When it comes time to leave Chatgpt there are two things I would recommend. 

First, is to use the existing features to be able to download all of your chats so that you have access to all the work you have done with Chatgpt and second, once the download has taken place, be sure to delete all your info.

I came across this excellent article that helps walk you through the process to download and then delete your information. Here is the link:
