OpenAI has significantly changed its approach by declaring that it will not use customer data received through its APIs to train its large language models, including GPT-4.
OpenAI updated its terms of service on March 1, 2023, to reflect its new commitment to user privacy by not using customer data for training its language models via the API.
Although OpenAI has decided not to use customer data received via its API for training its language models, other types of data input such as text entered into ChatGPT may still be used unless the data is shared via the API.
OpenAI's decision to stop using customer data for training its language models has significant consequences, especially for its business clients such as Microsoft, Salesforce, and Snapchat.

OpenAI's new policy of not using customer data to train its language models applies to GPT-4, released on March 14, 2023.
GPT-4 comes with several advancements over its predecessor, GPT-3, including a larger word limit size of 25,000 (compared to ChatGPT's 3,000-word limit), an increased context window size, and improved reasoning and comprehension capabilities.
OpenAI's new data usage policy means that data used to train its language models will not include information shared via the API unless users explicitly consent to it being used for that purpose.
