A 404 Media investigation reveals OpenAI uses hundreds of outside contractors to read and evaluate real ChatGPT conversations, including sensitive personal information. The work is identified by the internal codename "Project Lily." Contractors access anonymized prompts, sometimes entire conversations, and user memory summaries containing location information and retained context about users.
