This states OpenAI has signed a contract where ChatGPT is effectively reclassified as the equivalent of an international gateway telephone exchange of the United States of America.

The international exchange allways has been the node where NSA was allowed to wiretap all international incoming and outgoing calls and perform content analysis of the information streams (bidirectional) in a call.
