On its help pages<\/a>, OpenAI says ChatGPT web users without accounts should navigate to Settings<\/strong> and then uncheck Improve the model for everyone<\/strong>. If you have an account and are logged in through a web browser, select ChatGPT, Settings, Data Controls,<\/strong> and then turn off Chat History & Training<\/strong>. If you\u2019re using ChatGPT\u2019s mobile apps, go to Settings<\/strong>, pick Data Controls,<\/strong> and turn off Chat History & Training<\/strong>. Changing these settings, OpenAI\u2019s support pages say<\/a>, won\u2019t sync across different browsers or devices, so you need to make the change everywhere you use ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

OpenAI<\/a> is about a lot more than ChatGPT. For its Dall-E 3 image generator, the startup has a form that allows you to send images<\/strong><\/a> to be removed from \u201cfuture training datasets.\u201d It asks for your name, email, whether you own the image rights or are getting in touch on behalf of a company, details of the image, and any uploads of the image(s). OpenAI also says if you have a \u201chigh volume\u201d of images hosted online that you want removed from training data, then it may be \u201cmore efficient\u201d to add GPTBot to the robots.txt file of the website where the images are hosted.<\/p>\n

Traditionally a website\u2019s robots.txt file\u2014a simple text file that usually sits at websitename.com\/robots.txt\u2014has been used to tell search engines, and others, whether they can include your pages in their results. It can now also be used to tell AI crawlers not to scrape what you have published\u2014and AI companies have said they\u2019ll honor this arrangement.<\/p>\n

Perplexity<\/p>\n

Turn this off by clicking on your account name<\/strong>, scrolling down to the Account<\/strong> section, and turning off the AI Data Retention<\/strong> toggle.<\/p>\n
