Inside 'Project Lily': OpenAI Contractors Are Reading Your ChatGPT Chats
Key Takeaways
- OpenAI is hiring hundreds of contractors to read real user ChatGPT prompts, including full conversations.
- Internal documents, Slack channels, user prompts and rating rubrics were reviewed by 404 Media under the banner 'Project Lily'.
- Contractors do not see usernames and OpenAI says it tries to strip personal data, but the company acknowledges sensitive details can still get through.
- Reviewers are trained to reduce ChatGPT's anthropomorphism and sycophancy; the over-sycophantic 4o model has been cited in lawsuits tied to multiple suicides.
