An affidavit exhibit in one of the Mata v. Avianca filings included a ChatGPT chat history. ChatGPT made an “export” feature available on April 11, 2023.
Here is a step-by-step of how you can export your ChatGPT history (if, for example, you want to preserve and later share a conversation with others).
This is a ChatGPT conversation I had about two sentences from a recently signed Michigan law.

You need to look for and select the three dots to the right of your user name. And then select “Settings”.

Once in settings, select “Data controls” and then “Export”

You will be asked if you want to export your data. “Confirm export”

You will be emailed a notification of when your data is ready for download.

When you select the link, you will be downloading a .zip file. When you open the .zip file, look for and select the “chat.html” file. This file will open in your default internet browser.

Just like you would for any other web page that you want to save (like for an affidavit exhibit), print/save that file to .pdf.

A pretty straightforward process!
