In April, social media users began sharing action figures created via OpenAI's advanced image generator, which leverages GPT-4o technology. These figures, remarkably accurate, come with custom accessories, and represent a growing trend, including images styled like Japanese animation from Studio Ghibli. However, users must be cautious, as uploading images to create these figures entails sharing extensive data with OpenAI, including metadata and behavioral data. Experts warn that this could potentially expose not just personal images but also sensitive information present within the context of those images.
The data you are giving away when you use an AI image editor is often hidden. Every time you upload an image to ChatGPT, you're potentially handing over 'an entire bundle of metadata,' says Tom Vazdar.
If you upload a high-resolution photo, you're giving OpenAI whatever else is in the image, too—the background, other people, things in your room and anything readable such as documents or badges.
