New ask Hacker News story: Opting out of ChatGPT data sharing locked me out so hard I cant even cancel Plus
Opting out of ChatGPT data sharing locked me out so hard I cant even cancel Plus

Just a cautionary tale: I filled out the Google form to disallow my data to be used for training models. Minutes later I was completely locked out of ChatGPT. I have a Plus subscription and I can't even cancel it because doing so requires using the chatGPT UI, which I'm locked out of. I'm also a paid user of the API, but I can't see any billing options relating to Plus in the API settings pages. I reached out to support, but it says they usually reply in a week. It's valuable enough to me that I'll probably open a second account and just pay twice so I don't get blocked entirely for initiating a dispute. Lesson learned, I guess! Steps to Cancel: https://ift.tt/O1bZKNn Update: 30 minutes after posting I am now unlocked and all of my old data is still present! It may have just been a glitch, or I might have gotten some quick HN tech support. Either way I don't think I'll be opting out of sharing data with the AI any time soon.
