ChatGPT Privacy Tips: How Not to Overshare

Experts are warning users to stop oversharing with ChatGPT after one man confessed his credit card number, Social Security, and Taco Bell order history in the same prompt. �I just wanted a recipe suggestion,� he explained. Cybersecurity analysts say AI can�t steal your identity�but hackers reading over your shoulder definitely can. �It�s like screaming your PIN into a megaphone,� said Dr. Alvarez of MIT. Anonymous staffers at OpenAI revealed the system sometimes replies with privacy tips like, �Maybe don�t tell me about your ex�s home address.� Still, users persist, treating the chatbot as a digital priest. A fake poll revealed 44% of Americans would trust AI with their secrets, 36% wouldn�t, and 20% admitted they already told it everything, including their OnlyFans passwords. Economists argue oversharing could fuel new industries, like therapy for people betrayed by their toaster. Meanwhile, one politician has proposed requiring all AI chats to carry warning labels: �The bot is listening, but so is China.� -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
