ChatGPT now lets you target ads based on specific prompts or any phone number or email address. This is absolutely 100% going to be used for harassment.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Do you have in mind one or more specific viable workarounds for the 25K matched users requirement, or specific reasons why that is not the barrier it would seem to be? Not asking you to share what those might BE, as obviously there are good reasons not to share the details of abuse methodology. 😬 (And if you say “no, I just expect these barriers to be worked around,” that will not make me assume it is all safe and good.)
