I store almost everyfuck in plain text, so what?

Oh, somebody wants to use techbro stuff and expect security.

Many people now use ChatGPT like they might use Google: to ask important questions, sort through issues, and so on. Often, sensitive personal data could be shared in those conversations.

Don't a lot of people also keep their tax information as plain text in their PC? If someone's really worried about that stuff being leaked I think it's on them to download VeraCrypt or smth, and also not to use ChatGPT for sensitive stuff knowing that OpenAI and Apple will obviously use it as training data.

Well, there's a good side to this - at least the recipe of that totally not poisonous green cocktail will be available from logs.
