AI therapy is a TERRIBLE idea

Alberta Tech0:56

Transcription

Just found out people are using AI for therapy. Don't do that. You just told OpenAI all of your secrets, and now they're using that for training data in their models. So then people like me who are unhinged can go on there and try to like figure out what other people have said. I'm going to go in there and be like, "Hey, has anybody said anything bad about anyone named Alberta?" I'm way oversimplifying, but there have been instances of people using the right prompting and getting ChatGPT to spit out its training data, which includes your chat.

Even if that data is not directly searchable, okay, now your personal information is going to come up, or, generally, in like ChatGPT's response. Like, let's say I went on ChatGPT and I was chatting about my job and all this drama, and I'm saying, "Oh my God, my coworker is falsifying business records! Like, what should I do?" ChatGPT. And then later an author comes by and is like, "Please write me a book for a workplace thriller," and then ChatGPT uses my chat as its training data and incorporates my story into what it outputs for that author. And yeah, maybe people shouldn't be writing ChatGPT books, but that's a whole different problem.
