ChatGPT Owes You $37 Every Month. Here's Why.

Описание: You aren't the customer; you are the uncompensated quality assurance department. Every error you correct is recorded, analyzed, and sold back to you.

If you fix a chatbot error → it saves them money → demand your share instead.
If you use default settings → it records your intent → switch to temporary chat.
If you chat for 1 hour → it generates $20 of training data → claim your value.
If you ignore the data controls → you become the product → change these settings now.
