I asked ChatGPT to summarize its own terms of service and privacy policy—explained like you would to a fifth grader!
Here’s what it said:
So, when you use ChatGPT, it needs a little bit of information to work properly. It remembers some of what you say so it can get better at answering questions. But it doesn’t keep everything you say forever—just for a little while. They also make sure nobody who’s not supposed to see your stuff can get to it.
Sometimes, ChatGPT needs help from other companies—kind of like having a friend help with homework—but those companies have to keep your information safe too. They’re not allowed to use it for their own advertising or sell it to someone else. And if ChatGPT ever changes the rules about how they handle your data, they let you know so you can decide if you’re okay with that.
In short: ChatGPT uses your info only to make itself better, it keeps it safe, it doesn’t sell it, and it lets you know if anything changes.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
