If you are using default ChatGPT settings your personal and sensitive information is at risk. Stop using ChatGPT until you take these 6 steps to protect yourself.
This is interesting. I never really looked at privacy settings for ChatGPT. I use AI a lot at my day job and for my own research. I don't want to delete all of my projects, so I'm wondering if I should have a second account with different settings. Also, I've messed with AI installed locally, but I'm not that impressed with it yet (although I don't have the budget for the processing power for larger models).
You don't have to necessarily delete all of your projects, just make sure you do the opt-out through openai's privacy portal to make sure your data isn't used for training models
I don’t have a specific AI recommendation, but from a privacy and security perspective, I would say that you most certainly shouldn’t use Deepseek, since it’s a China-based company, in my opinion (or any company in a questionable jurisdiction). And any AI-tool that doesn’t allow you privacy options and the ability to opt-out from training data is probably worth avoiding.
This is such great information. May I please share the tips with my work team on our web site with credit to your Substack? I am a subscriber and will not share if you say “nay!” Thank you, Tate!!

do you recommend one AI over another? Say Deepseek over Chatgpt?
