00:00Ever accidentally new to document and realize you've got no backups?
00:04Well, prepare to extend your sympathy to the mother of all foul-ups.
00:09Marcel Buher, a professor of plant sciences at the University of Cologne,
00:13spent two years building a thick portfolio of work with ChatGPT+,
00:18only for it to go up in smoke, and never equated his reliability with factual accuracy,
00:23but instead relied on the continuity and apparent stability of the workspace, he said.
00:28That is, until he got curious if the app would still work if he unticked the box that let OpenAI
00:35hoover his data.
00:36At that moment, all of my chats were permanently deleted and the project folders were emptied.
00:42Two years of carefully structured academic work disappeared.
00:46OpenAI told him the data was permanently gone.
00:50Let that be a warning to you.
00:51Maybe don't keep your life's work all in the ChatGPT basket.
