Description
You've probably never thought about what happens if you lose access to your AI chat platform. ChatGPT alone has over 400 million monthly active users—people running businesses, doing legal research, and having therapy-adjacent conversations. Yet the only backup option is a manual ZIP download you'll forget to do. In this episode, we explore why the major platforms don't offer proper automated backups, the real incentives behind that decision, and what you can actually do about it. From GDPR compliance to enterprise features locked behind $60/month paywalls, we break down the data sovereignty crisis hiding in plain sight.
