    This is a rage bait headline. OpenAI has a plugin that you can give access to your messages. The claim that this is somehow different from any other use, or breaks some implied secrecy because it was encrypted, is nonsense. You never have control over what the person at the other end of a conversation does with that conversation and encryption was never meant to address that.

    Depends on your threat model IMO, but I wouldn’t use either of those services in particular

    using apple devices is dangerous and irresponsible and I don’t know how they’re still in business after that bullshit they pulled in the UK

      Not trying to be contrarian or argumentative with this, but apple claims that imessage is end to end encrypted and therefore not readable even by them. Do you have evidence to the contrary? Or am I missing some other aspect?

        From the article…

        I want to make one technical point absolutely clear because several people have misunderstood my argument:

        The encryption still works. OpenAl hasn’t cracked or mathematically broken iMessage encryption. An iMessage remains encrypted between endpoints. The privacy problem occurs at the endpoint.

        Once the message has been decrypted on the recipient’s Mac, that recipient can authorise third party software to access the readable conversation. The encryption worked exactly as designed. It simply can’t protect message content from software authorised to access it before or after decryption.

        That’s what I mean when I say this integration undermines the purpose of end to end encryption.
