Reviewers are said to be given a dashboard showing a user prompt and up to four model responses to rate.
Tasks include summarising user intent and marking aligned or misaligned response parts.
Documents indicate reviewers may see "user memories" summaries and prompts containing personal information.
OpenAI says a Privacy Filter is applied but admits it can miss sensitive details.
The company points users to a website section saying humans may review some content.
Users can disable "Improve the model for everyone" in ChatGPT settings; the setting is on by default for many consumer tiers.
