Complaint/PSA, GPT grabs your pasted images instantly even if you never expressly send them.

A user reported that ChatGPT instantly grabbed an image from their clipboard, even though they intended to paste text and never explicitly sent the image. The screenshot, which was irrelevant to their query, appeared attached to their pending message. Although the user deleted the image, they suspect it might still be retained by OpenAI, raising concerns about data privacy and the automatic handling of clipboard content by AI platforms.

This report highlights a privacy concern where ChatGPT automatically grabbed an image from the clipboard, unlike the user's intention to paste text, raising questions about implicit data capture.
