While chatbots can seem like convenient and reliable tools, experts warn against over-reliance, especially for sensitive matters like health advice. Recent studies show an increasing number of people turning to artificial intelligence (AI) for guidance in these areas. According to a report by the New York Post, Cleveland Clinic data reveals that one in five Americans have sought health advice from AI. Additionally, a Tebra survey from last year found that nearly 25% of Americans would choose a chatbot over traditional therapy. Despite this increasing reliance, experts strongly advise against oversharing personal or medical details with ChatGPT and other AI chatbots. Here are 7 Things you should never-ever tell or ask from ChatGPT and other AI Chatbots:
Personal information
Never share your personal information with AI Chatbots, such as your name, address, phone number, or email address. This information could be used to identify you and track your activity.
Poll
Do you think chatbots can provide personalized assistance?
Financial information
Never share your financial information with AI Chatbots, such as your bank account numbers, credit card numbers, or social security number. This information could be used to steal your money or your identity.
Passwords
Never share your passwords with AI Chatbots. This information could be used to access your accounts and steal your data.
Your Secrets
Never share your secrets with AI Chatbots. ChatGPT is not a person and cannot be trusted to keep your secrets safe.
Medical or health advice
AI is not your doctor, so never ask AI for health advice. Also, never share your health details including Insurance Number and more.
Explicit content
Most chatbots filter any explicit stuff shared with them, so anything inappropriate may get you banned. Not just this, also remember, the internet never forgets anything. So, you never know where these may surface.
Anything that you don’t want the world to know
Remember that anything you tell AI Chatbots can be stored and potentially shared with others. As such, you should never tell AI Chatbots anything that you don’t want the world to know.
