🪤 When two years of academic work vanished with a single click // Nature

「 I temporarily disabled the ‘data consent’ option because I wanted to see whether I would still have access to all of the model’s functions if I did not provide OpenAI with my data. At that moment, all of my chats were permanently deleted and the project folders were emptied — two years of carefully structured academic work disappeared. No warning appeared 」

@jbz “these tools were not developed with academic standards of reliability and accountability in mind”

First: what did you expect?

Second: unchecking a data sharing checkbox immediately leading to the erasure of all data is a massive UX failure.

Third: what did you expect?
