I don’t understand it too, e2e encryption but the AI has to process the data somehow :L ???

How does chat encryption matter when it needs to be processed on their servers? It’s not like messaging where they just act as a middleman by sending a message from point A to point B, they’re actually having to process a query.

HTTPS is end-to-end encryption when you talk to the server directly

You can virtually never know when you are talking directly to the server.

If your encryption is not a layer on top of a messaging service, you have to trust that the service you’re using is actually end-to-end encrypted. I point this out because it means that encryption is not a protection against he service not doing what it says it does, but rather it is a protection against other things: passing data to governments, having a hacker break in and leak it, that kind of thing.
By storing stuff securely, it mitigates that problem, I guess. A government would have to have a “live tap” to know what you write to the LLM, rather than being able to slurp out all your historical conversations.

Exactly

I didn’t see mention of it, but maybe they could use homomorphic encryption?
