How to opt out of AI chatbot training

Malwarebytes guides users through disabling AI training use of chats in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude after OpenAI's human review program emerged.

404 Media reported that OpenAI's 'Project Lily' hires hundreds of contractors to review ChatGPT prompts, with a 'Privacy Filter' removing personal data and usernames hidden, though user memories summaries can still reveal identifying details. The article provides opt-out steps: ChatGPT Settings > Data Controls > 'Improve the model for everyone' (on by default), Perplexity Settings > Preferences > AI data retention, and Claude Settings > Privacy > 'Help Improve our AI Models'. Opting out does not prevent all human access, which remains allowed for abuse investigation, support, troubleshooting, and legal matters.

Google Search Makes It Harder to See Where a Link Really Goes Before You Click

Google now routes some Search results through opaque google.com/goto redirects, weakening hover-to-verify anti-phishing checks.

Google has begun serving some organic search results as opaque google.com/goto?url= redirects whose destinations can only be resolved server-side by Google, likely to raise scraping costs for rank trackers and archival services. The change removes the pre-click hover preview of the true destination URL, undermining a long-standing anti-phishing habit for spotting lookalike, typosquatted, or search-optimized phishing domains. Security teams are advised to rely on layered defenses such as domain reputation, DNS and web filtering, browser isolation, and user training rather than hover text.
