Is Ask Ben (Chat GPT) Anything AI safe?
Ask Ben sends your chat prompts to OpenAI and requests your public IP address from ipinfo.io when the popup loads.
When you ask a question, the extension sends the text you entered to OpenAI's chat completions API using the API key saved in the extension. Each time the popup loads, it also requests your public IP address from ipinfo.io and stores the returned IP address in Chrome sync storage.
