If you quit ChatGPT, export your health data

Like a lot of people this weekend I uninstalled ChatGPT after the Pentagon deal. Not getting into the politics of it but Altman literally called his own deal "opportunistic and sloppy" and I'm supposed to feel good about this company holding a year of my health conversations? Symptoms, lab results, my dad's medications, mental health stuff at 2am. Nah.

Anyway I spent like an hour last night just moving things around. Honestly should've done this earlier because having everything in one app was lazy. Claude is way better for coding than ChatGPT ever was. Perplexity is insane for research; I don't know why I was using ChatGPT for that to begin with. For some legal threads I had going I'm trying Jenny AI. And for health stuff I moved to August AI, they have some import thing on their site that pulled my health conversations out of ChatGPT which was nice because I didn't want to start over.

Kinda wild how much personal stuff I'd just dumped into one company without thinking about it. If you're leaving too, just make sure you grab whatever matters before you go.
