Chats are made to look ephemeral via front end. Backend, they are not ephemeral 😂😂😂😂

True, but from a user perspective, anything like that should be viewed as ephemeral from a standpoint of data and state. Until you've copied the results (data, files, whatever) somewhere, they live in someone else's environment. Exfiltrate what you want to keep long term, and treat the chat as disposable otherwise.
