'Taboo' questions when chatting with ChatGPT and other AI chatbots
In the era of rising artificial intelligence (AI), chatbots like ChatGPT have become a familiar part of our lives. They can help us answer questions, write emails, and perform many other tasks. However, not everything should be shared with AI chatbots.
Research shows that more and more people are relying on AI chatbots for advice, especially in the health sector. However, experts warn that over-reliance on these tools can be risky.
AI chatbots may feel friendly and trustworthy, but when it comes to important issues like health, they cannot replace medical professionals.
According to the New York Post, data from the famous Cleveland Clinic (USA) health system and hospital revealed that 1 in 5 Americans seek health advice from AI.
More notably, a survey by US-based health tech company Tebra found that nearly 25% of Americans are willing to use AI chatbots instead of traditional therapy.
Despite the growing popularity of AI, experts advise against sharing too much personal or medical information with ChatGPT or any other AI chatbot. Here are some things you should never say or ask an AI chatbot.
Personal information
Never reveal your personal information to an AI chatbot, including your name, address, phone number, or email. This data can be used to identify you and track your online activities.
Never share financial information such as bank account numbers, credit cards or national identification numbers. This sensitive data can be targeted by bad guys, leading to the risk of losing money or identity theft.
Password
Never give your password to an AI chatbot. Bad guys can use this information to break into your personal account and steal your important data.
Your Secret
Never reveal your secrets to an AI chatbot. ChatGPT and other AI chatbots are not human and cannot guarantee to keep your personal information or secrets safe.
Medical or health advice
AI chatbots are not doctors, so do not seek medical advice from a chatbot. Also, never share personal health information, including insurance numbers and other sensitive data.
Contentsensitive
Most AI chatbots have content filters, so sharing inappropriate information could get you banned. Also, remember that the internet never forgets, once information is posted, you have no control over where it appears or how it is used.
Content you don't wantothers know
Always remember that any information you share with AI chatbots may be stored and even shared with third parties, so never reveal anything you wouldn't want others to know.
