Sharing personal details on ChatGPT or any AI platform can result in significant privacy and security risks. As a rule, such systems not only process data to arrive at faulty responses but also privacy-secured as they may be, however, they are not intended to be places for the information storage or protection like this (banking details, passwords, identification numbers, or confidential business information). One of the situations with the highest risk of unintentional exposure is that the user's information may be picked up by the AI in a future response and used during the improvement of the system. In addition, even if the use of AI seems safe, users cannot guarantee that the data will remain secure after specifying it. Thus, in case of system vulnerabilities being exposed, the malicious third party's job of getting the data may be a piece of cake which is very worrying. The main thing regarding the necessity of the confidentiality of the data is that one should be considerate to AI as public posts about conversations. Also, consciously sharing the private data can bring an obliteration of the private and public digital space lines and thus lead one into being a victim of identity theft, social engineering, or unauthorized access to your life or systems. AI is capable of doing a lot of wonderful things, but it is not a place to hide private information. Moreover, you should always take care of your privacy and employ the services of encrypted and trusted channels for the exchange of such sensitive information. Therefore, never ever share anything personal on chatgpt or any other kind of platform where there is always a risk of getting exposed to hackers.
