  1. Added: One of the most useful and promising features of AI models is that they can improve over time. We continuously improve our models through research breakthroughs as well as exposure to real-world problems and data. When you allow your content to be used to train our models, it helps our models become more accurate and better at solving your specific problems and it also helps improve their general capabilities and safety. ChatGPT, for instance, improves by further training on the conversations people have with it, unless you opt out .
  2. Added: When you use our services for individuals such as ChatGPT and Codex, we may use your content to train our models.
  3. Removed: One of the most useful and promising features of AI models is that they can improve over time. We continuously improve our models through research breakthroughs as well as exposure to real-world problems and data. When you share your content with us, it helps our models become more accurate and better at solving your specific problems and it also helps improve their general capabilities and safety. We do not use your content to market our services or create advertising profiles of you-we use it to make our models more helpful. ChatGPT, for instance, improves by further training on the conversations people have with it, unless you opt out .
  4. Removed: When you use our services for individuals such as ChatGPT, Codex, and Sora, we may use your content to train our models.
  5. Removed: Sora has separate controls, and you can similarly turn off training in the Sora Settings menu. Additionally, if you opt out of training through our privacy porta l, this will apply to Sora too. (Note that adjusting your settings in the ChatGPT interface will not affect your Sora settings, however.)
