Does it work every time if you ask chat to not include UTM? Just ran a test and it stripped the UTMs lol.
haha, that is funny. I did not think about it but I do not think it will work every time
OpenAI urgently needs to make money. Its most valuable product isn’t the LLM - it’s the users. The company has now set up an efficient way to track your behavior online and sell that data to marketers. The setup might look harmless - a tiny UTM parameter - but it can reveal a lot about you and can ultimately influence what you’re shown in the chatbot and what information is transferred to third parties.
