Why it matters
The post says the page hints that OpenAI may want ChatGPT to scan users' inboxes for shopping, which would be a sensitive privacy move. People who connect their email to ChatGPT would be most affected if such a feature arrives. The key thing to watch is whether OpenAI confirms the page or rolls it out, since the code alone does not show that.
