Project
Internal OpenAI codename for a program in which contracted reviewers read real ChatGPT conversations and rate candidate AI responses for training.
Contractors hired to grade Copilot's image edits see each user's original photo, faces uncensored, beside the request and two AI outputs, 404 Media reported. Microsoft did not say whether users can keep their uploads out of those reviews.
Reality
OpenAI's outside reviewers read real conversations with account names masked. The 404 Media documents show some review tasks also carry a summary of what ChatGPT has remembered about the user, including location.
Perspective Coverage

Two ChatGPT users are suing OpenAI to make human review of chats opt-in, a change that would reach more than 900 million weekly users. Until a court rules, companies should assume staff chats on consumer ChatGPT, with the default setting on, can reach a staffing-firm contractor.
Reality
404 Media found contractors who read real ChatGPT conversations have been fired for handing in model-generated work, and the internal documents show the sanctioned check on them is a human judging the overall pattern.
Reality
404 Media obtained instruction guides, Slack channels and real prompts from OpenAI's human review program. Reviewers see full chats and a summary of what the user asked for before, with the username stripped.
Reality
Leaked documents reported by 404 Media describe a review program codenamed Project Lily that pays hundreds of contractors over $50 an hour to read real conversations. Model training is on by default for Free, Plus and Pro accounts.
