Both Happy & Scared for ChatGPT. Why?

How often do you use AI for your every day operations?

I use it often, usually daily.

The reason I use it mostly is to refine some of my emails, to give me some idea about promotions that I run for my job etc.

Anyways, I would love to hear how you use it and I would like to share with you two of my todays experiences that could be useful to you.

1st... the scary one
ChatGPT knows my name and last name!

I gave it an email text today, asking it to refine it for me.
ChatGPT did refine it but...

At the end of the email it added my first and last name - and Best Regards!

I had not given a prompt with my full name today, and I think I have never given my full name to it. I am usually very careful to not disclose personal information of me or my partners.

How the heck did it know my name?

And as I write these lines, I just thought ..
Why not ask it?

--- Hm... a small break to go ask

So, ChatGPT suggests that I mentioned my name during a session - but in fact, I did not!

And when I told it I had not given that information to it, it claimed to update its memory (I suppose it should have asked for my confirmation) - and then look at what it said

I am sure that this conversation could go on, and I may do it - just to test it.

Can you even imagine what kind of info it keeps for all of us?
What we think, what we ask, what we need...
Scary.

And here is something else about ChatGPT - as you are chatting with it about something, it can create a picture for you! Even best, it can create both the prompt and the image right away.

p.s. the first image is created with ChatGPT - but after asking for a change, I was warned that I reached my image creation limit.

So, what do you think?
Do you use ChatGPT or AI?
Does it know your name and would you mind if it did?

Do you think that we drive away from our own privacy more and more every day?

I would love to know your thoughts!
