OpenAI asks a judge to toss an amended ChatGPT privacy suit that quotes its own health and finance marketing back at it

OpenAI asked Judge Marilyn Huff on Wednesday to dismiss the amended version of Amargo Couture’s ChatGPT privacy suit, arguing its policies tell users flatly that prompts may go to vendors and service providers no matter the subject, with nothing carved out for health or budgeting questions. Couture rewrote the complaint after OpenAI’s first dismissal motion and before Huff ruled on it, and the new version quotes OpenAI’s own marketing back at the company, citing a January report that calls ChatGPT a “healthcare ally” consulted by 40M people a day and a June report putting 200M people a month on financial questions. She alleges OpenAI is pushing users to tell the chatbot things they would otherwise reserve for a doctor or a close friend. Huff has tentatively set a hearing for November 2.
