ChatGPT will now predict your age based on how you interact with it

It seems now #openai is doing age estimation too based on this email I received,

After Google who made the "Age signals API" into Android phones, now OpenAI will "predict your age based on how you interact with our services".

No, I don't want #chatgpt to analyze my age, thank you very much, (I always used the privage chat mode anyways, whatever impact it actually has on the data they use), so I will now switch to an alternative that doesn't do that : https://chat.mistral.ai/

Don't misunderstand me, protecting children is a good idea, but if that implies having to be analyzed by an #AI and having your experience change based on that, I'm heavily against it.

Although it's convenient, if it starts analyzing my behaviour as well then I guess it will be a good time to start thinking a bit more on my own and only rely on AI as a last resort solution...

You would be surprised what health problems people under 18 can have.
