ChatGPT will now predict your age based on how you interact with it

It seems now #openai is doing age estimation too based on this email I received,

After Google who made the "Age signals API" into Android phones, now OpenAI will "predict your age based on how you interact with our services".

No, I don't want #chatgpt to analyze my age, thank you very much, (I always used the privage chat mode anyways, whatever impact it actually has on the data they use), so I will now switch to an alternative that doesn't do that : https://chat.mistral.ai/

Don't misunderstand me, protecting children is a good idea, but if that implies having to be analyzed by an #AI and having your experience change based on that, I'm heavily against it.

Although it's convenient, if it starts analyzing my behaviour as well then I guess it will be a good time to start thinking a bit more on my own and only rely on AI as a last resort solution...

Start asking it questions about what to do with your grandkids, and what sort of music the youth are into, and how you're supposed to spend all your disposable retirement money.
