ChatGPT continues to be a tech hub as users find new ways to use the AI product. Competitors are also in the works, including Bing and the upcoming Google Search AI. On top of that, every major tech company wants to integrate ChatGPT or release similar AI software.
Whether you want to use the original ChatGPT or a competitor’s similar AI product, remember to protect yourself. When using ChatGPT or other AI products, there are things you shouldn’t ask. So what are they?
Do not share your personal data with ChatGPT
OpenAI collects all possible data to train ChatGPT. So don’t make the mistake of including your personal information in the chat. All this is being recorded and ChatGPT’s privacy is not very good at the moment either. You cannot, and never will, ask OpenAI to remove the data you have shared.
The first problems with this also began to appear. Italy and Canada were the first countries to investigate ChatGPT on privacy issues. And Samsung discovered just how bad ChatGPT privacy was after some of its employees shared highly sensitive information in ChatGPT chats.
Do not install untrusted ChatGPT applications
ChatGPT is so advanced that it can encode malware for you with the right commands. Various reports have detailed ChatGPT-based malware attacks, and they all work similarly. Unsuspecting users think that they have installed genuine applications and extensions on their computers. But they end up with fake ChatGPT apps with malware to steal their data.
Make sure you don’t install ChatGPT apps from untrusted sources. Double check before downloading and installing anything on your machine.
Don’t forget to request resources from ChatGPT
Speaking of checking things, everything you want from ChatGPT will not always be right. Make sure you ask him to source it along with the links. That way you can check what ChatGPT tells you and make sure it’s correct. Although artificial intelligence is incredibly smart, it is still unreliable. You can make mistakes when answering questions and that is something you should always remember.
Remember copyright laws
The chatbot remembers everything, as OpenAI feeds ChatGPT with lots of data to train the language model. This includes material that may be copyrighted. But in the “eye” of ChatGPT it doesn’t matter. You may violate copyright law if you share the copyrighted content that ChatGPT provides to you.
