> It now knows absolutely loads about me

Baffled that someone tech literate would be boasting about this in the year 2026. I mean, you do you, we all have different priorities and threat vectors, but this is the furthest from what I would personally want.

It's not boasting, I'm not sure why what I wrote would come across that way. I'm describing how I use a product and the functionality it presents to me.

But yes, it's an emerging area and I am questioning if I am sharing too much with it. I 100% would not want my chat histories exposed.

Saying that though, facebook can read my highly personal messages, google every email, my phone is tracking my every move, I have to sign up for random janky websites for my kids school where ther medical info is stored, etc.

LLM chat history presents a new risk and a different set of data, but it's a crowded minefield already.

This is the same as when Google got big (and Facebook, etc...). We have some privacy focused competitors (Kagi, etc...) but most people are quite happy to just give Google (and worse, Facebook) everything.

AI is just a new technology but this has been ramping up for decades now.
