ChatGPT appears to recognize users' photos, denying it does so

A Reddit user reports that ChatGPT consistently refers to their own uploaded photos as "you" while calling strangers' photos "the person" — every time. When asked why, ChatGPT claims it's a mistake and that it cannot identify people from photos, which the user finds clearly untrue. The post asks whether others have noticed the same, raising questions about how personal memory data may be used in image understanding.
