ChatGPT Presents Privacy And Safety Risks

A technology commentary warns that ChatGPT, now widely used since its 2022 release, is unsuitable for personal, illegal, proprietary, or medical queries because it collects prompts, can hallucinate, and has been involved in data exposures. The article cites a Cornell study showing models can reproduce training data verbatim and urges users to avoid sharing sensitive information or relying on the chatbot for legal or medical decisions.
