This looks incorrect. OpenAI have flat out said that there's no need of doing this and both ways are equivalent
We respect our users' choice whether to use their data to “improve our models for everyone” regardless of where they express that choice. Users can opt out in the in-app settings or indeed also in our privacy portal. They do not need to opt out in both places, and we will make this clearer in our Help Center.
Even if that's true right now, if one of the options is legally binding and the other is "we promise not to eat your data... for now", the first option is still better.
so what option do you leave them with? they are giving both alternatives and clearly stating both do the same thing underneath. there's literally nothing else they could have done here.

Option A can be accidentally undone with a few clicks.
Option B is legally binding and permanent.
I get it, but what option does OpenAI have here other than to present the two options?
They're not equivalent.
The one in ChatGPT settings only applies to ChatGPT. The one on the OpenAI privacy portal applies to all OpenAI products, present and future.
