In the past, you had to search the search engine for most of the day to find out what you wanted.
It's much better now! Chat directly with the chatgpt bot, and the information will be sorted out for me.
When I have time, Xiao Lei will also chat with it about some philosophies of life and have some heart-to-heart friends.
However, the recent news that has been exposed has taken Xiao Lei by surprise, and ChatGPT has caused a big problem again.

Recently, a user found out in a conversation with ChatGPTThere are conversations that are not the same as the person, and some even have sensitive information such as usernames and passwords.
According to the leaked information, the leaked conversation involved multiple aspects, one of which appeared to be a conversation from a pharmacy employee, which leaked the store name, store number, and login credentials.
In another conversation, the name of the presentation being produced was revealed, as well as an unpublished research proposal.
Privacy issues have always been a concern, after all, no one wants to expose their privacy to the eyes of others, especially the leakage of highly sensitive information such as passwords, which may also bring certain financial losses.
Therefore, the private conversation leaked by ChatGPT this time will inevitably cause concern among the majority of users.
As for why Xiaolei said that ChatGPT got into trouble again? Because as early as before, ChatGPT was also exposed to the bug of information leakage.
In 2023, a user broke the news: when using ChatGPT, there are many strange chat conversation records in the chat history, although you can't see the specific chat content, you can see the conversation title.

The matter continues to ferment on the Internet, and many users have said that they have encountered the same problem.
The official response to this was that it was a "bug in unnamed open source software" that caused the problem. It was announced that ChatGPT would be temporarily shut down to find out the bug, and then re-launched that night.
Officials also emphasized that the bug did not leak the full chat history, only a short title.
I didn't expect ChatGPT to have another security issue in 2024, and the official response to this leaked conversation said:Under investigation, users are advised not to share sensitive information with AI.

In fact, it is not only necessary to pay attention to privacy issues in the process of using AI, but also to pay attention to surfing the Internet. Once privacy is leaked, it can range from harassment to property damage.
Xiaolei still suggests that friends do not talk too much about personal sensitive information with AI robots at this stage, such as: account password, **real address, name, etc.
In any case, privacy leaks are a big deal!
