It’s 2025 and OpenAI’s AI tool to protect creators is still missing in action

OpenAI held a massive ChatGPT-centric event before Christmas, making several key announcements for ChatGPT and other genAI tools it currently offers. The reasoning ChatGPT model o1 and the text-to-video Sora service got public releases. OpenAI also demoed the o3 model coming later this year, released Canvas, and even made ChatGPT available via WhatsApp texting.

What OpenAI failed to do is keep a privacy promise made earlier this year. The company announced a Media Manager feature back in May.
