OpenAI cuts off user's account, locking away medical records and family data
QuixiAI · x · 2026-09-08
User @QuixiAI reports OpenAI abruptly terminated their account access, cutting off personal medical information, heart medication records, all chat history, and stories and pictures created by their kids — while denying any distillation activity.
@TheAhmadOsman uses the case to argue why open-source and self-hosted AI matter: hosted services can cut you off at any time. The incident highlights the risk of cloud-dependent AI services, where data access is entirely at the vendor's discretion.
