Why is OpenAI lying about the data its collecting on users?
kypro Thursday, November 27, 2025I'm not sure this is the right place to raise this but over the past few months ChatGPT has been lying to me and gaslighting me about the data it's collecting about me.
I'm very sensitive about my privacy and I have disabled all personalisation and memory on ChatGPT.
However, I've noticed multiple times now where it would say things that imply it knows things about me. When it does this I ask how it would know that and it always says it just guessed and it doesn't actually know anything about me. I assumed it must be telling the truth because it seemed very unlikely a company like OpenAI would be lying about the data they're collecting on users and training their chat agent to gaslighting users when asked about it, but now after running some tests I think this is what's happening...
Here's some examples of the gaslighting:

These are all new chats.
