Is ChatGPT safe? Released in November 2022, ChatGPT is an advanced AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, a startup founded in 2015. ChatGPT is a so-called natural language processing tool based on powerful AI that uses data from the internet to create unique texts. You can answer almost any question and create almost any content. In his own words:
“ChatGPT is a cutting-edge conversational AI model that leverages the power of generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) to understand and generate human-like text. Answer questions, provide explanations, and create creative content. ChatGPT aims to simulate human-like interactions and provide users with an informative and engaging experience.
Is ChatGPT safe?
New technology raises concerns about cybersecurity. That also applies to ChatGPT. Chatbots have many great features, but they are also used to write malicious code to create viruses, spread misinformation, and create copies of phishing materials. There is a possibility that Then there's the issue of data security. Read on for an overview.
AI-generated malicious content
Researchers warn that cybercriminals can use ChatGPT to craft phishing emails, text messages, and call script texts. more Phishing and more cyber threat. The generated text is so effective that OpenAI has withdrawn the tools it designed to detect AI-generated content, citing poor results. Nevertheless, OpenAI provides three suggestions for detecting AI-generated text.
- Look for patterns and inconsistencies: AI-generated content may have patterns or inconsistencies that indicate machine-generated content, such as repeating the same phrase multiple times or using the same structure over and over again. .
- Look for signs of human error: AI-generated content can contain errors and inconsistencies that aren't present in human-generated content, such as clumsy wording or lack of context.
- Check context: AI-generated content may be out of context or may not make sense in the context of the conversation.
This guidance is by no means foolproof, but it's still sound advice. Simply put, take your time and be skeptical.
OpenAI Privacy Policy
OpenAI's privacy policy outlines the types of data collected, including contact details, date of birth, transaction history, network activity, content, location, and login credentials. Although some level of data sharing is necessary, the potential for misuse and leakage remains a concern.
Additionally, ChatGPT conversations are not confidential. Although OpenAI has safeguards in place to prevent the sharing of personal information, the risk of leakage still exists. For example, chats may be used to train future versions of the model, but all chats are stored for 30 days to monitor for abuse.
Accidents and data leaks
In March 2023, OpenAI encountered an issue where users' chat histories were mixed up. Some ChatGPT users were looking at other people's conversation history instead of their own. There were also concerns that the financial information of ChatGPT-Plus subscribers may have been compromised. To OpenAI's credit, they quickly addressed this bug and subsequently published a report. However, leaks and breaches remain an inherent risk of online services.
