00:00Experts say ChatGPT Wrapped is a privacy nightmare.

00:04That magical time when tech wraps your year is back,

00:07as OpenAI joins with Your Year with ChatGPT,

00:10a Spotify Wrapped-style recap with nostalgia and mild privacy panic.

00:15Launched Monday in English-speaking markets like the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand,

00:20the feature is a slideshow tour of your year with ChatGPT.

00:24It opens with a custom AI-generated poem to capture the vibe of your year,

00:29maybe productive professional, or person who asks too many oddly specific questions at 2 a.m.

00:36From there, the stats roll in.

00:37How many chats you had, your most talkative day, and how many dashes you and the bot exchanged.

00:42Then it gets more personal, a personalized award, an archetype, a portrait of your general vibe,

00:47and an analysis of your conversational style with examples from past messages.

00:52It's less fond scrapbook and more AI therapist who keeps receipts.

00:57The feature follows a viral trend where users were already asking ChatGPT to recap their year,

01:03but the official version quietly reminds you this only works if ChatGPT has been remembering you all along.

01:09To see your year with ChatGPT, users must have reference saved memories and reference chat history turned on,

01:16settings enabled by default for free, plus, and pro users.

01:19Translation, the chatbot has been keeping notes.

01:23Turning that off requires digging into settings, personalization, manage memories to toggle or delete specific info,

01:30like an AI-era, clear browser history button.

01:33There's more.

01:34If Improved the model for everyone is on, your chats and memories may train OpenAI's models.

01:40Business, enterprise, and Edu users are excluded,

01:43but everyone else might want to take a long, careful look at data controls.

01:47Enjoy the poem.

01:49Just remember, this didn't come from nowhere.

01:51It came from everything you already told the robot.
