Is AI Assistant for ChatGPT(GPT4o,Claude3,AI drawing) safe?

On install or update, the extension looks up your IP-based location from ipinfo.io, generates a persistent unique ID, and sends that ID along with your IP address, country/region, OS, browser, and extension version to an Aliyun-hosted logging endpoint operated by the vendor. This telemetry beacon is not disclosed in the extension's store listing.
