Yes, obviously.

But that's not what I'm worried about personally. I'm worried about the weaponization of this data in the future, either from OpenAI's greed to create the next advertising money-printing machine or from the data leaking through a breach. And because the interface with ChatGPT is so "natural" and "human like", it's easy to trust it and talk to it like a friend divulging very personal information about yourself.

Imagine OpenAI (or whatever other AI) used the confidences you made to it or the specifics of your "therapy" sessions with it to get you to act in a certain way or buy certain things. Would you be comfortable with that? Well, that's irrelevant because they have the data already and can use it. Kinda like Cambdridge Analytica but on steroids because tailoring it to anyone's particular biases and way of thinking becomes trivial with ChatGPT and friends.

Seeing how cavalier OpenAI has been with last week's breach and how fast they've flipped from being apparently benevolent to what they are now. And it's only been a few months of ChatGPT being available to the public.

Yes, I would be fine with this.

Not that much different from the current fingerprint techniques, it's just that on steroids but I don't understand the issue.

I guess it boils down to the current "nothing to hide" crowd vs the "privacy matters" crowd.

We don't know the potential for this nascent technology either. I'm personally very concerned about the potential for manipulating people on a very personal basis since the cost of doing so is cents with LLMs vs orders of magnitude more when using a troll farm (the "state of the art" until ChatGPT3+ came around)

Some of us just don't appreciate being manipulated and influenced to further someone else's agenda that is detrimental to ourselves I suppose.

I'm with you 100%.

It's scary how these services are being so casually adopted, even by tech-minded people. Sure, they're convenient _now_, but there's no guarantee how your data will be used in the future. If anything, we need to be much more privacy conscious today, given how much personal information we're likely to share.

Using it as a therapist is absolutely terrifying.

If people can automatically distill what motivates you, they can produce automated lies.

The best deception is one where the victim is self-motivated to believe it.

No one is going to actually read them, but try "ChatGPT-5, please compile a list of the ChatGPT-4 users most likely to [commit terrorism/subscribe to Hulu/etc]"

So you are worried it might catch terrorists or help promote a service to someone that they want?

> does chatGPT or some data scientist somewhere really care that there is someone somewhere that is struggling with body issues, struggling in a relationship or struggling to find meaning in there lives?

Not the tool nor data scientists, but advertisers are salivating at the chance to even further improve their microtargetted campaigns. If they can deliver ads to you for a specific product _at the moment you need it_, their revenues will explode.

Consider this hypothetical conversation:

> Oh, Tina, I'm feeling hopeless today. Please cheer me up.

> Certainly, Michael! Here's a joke: ...

> Also, if you're feeling really sad, maybe you should try taking HappyPills(tm). They're a natural mood enhancer that can help when times get tough. Here's a link where you can buy some: ...

If you don't think such integrated ads will become a reality, take a look at popular web search result pages today. Search engines started by returning relevant results from their web index. Now they return ad-infested pages of promoted content. The same thing has happened on all social media sites. AI tools are the new frontier that will revolutionize how ads are served. To hell with all that.

I block all ads anyway

Doesn't it require a phone number? What's the best way to create a burner account for it?

I'd be interested in how GPT answers that question.

That's true, of openAI accounts at least, good point. I think i linked mine to a work phone that I don't use for anything apart from receiving on-call calls.

Although i've been running a ChatGPT 4 space via hugging face that doesn't need a AI key or an account, so there is nothing linking it to me.

There are a few you can find by searching ChatGPT4 if it gets busy, also this allows you to run GPT 4 for free which is only for plus members right now.
