This is good for ChatGPT.
This is good for us to hear about so that we all understand that what we share can be used for later generative conversations. ChatGPT warns you about not sharing sensitive information. If you would not put your username and password in a Google search, why are you giving it to a LLM?
They tell you that the conversations aren't private and that you shouldn't share sensitive information when you sign up, and when you sign in.
Yes but people are stupid and have knee jerk reactions to anything "AI"
This reminds me of one of the older researchers at my old job. We were in the process of a (decade late...) migration from svn to git. He was angry because he "had just finally learned subversion" and "still don't see why we can't use CVS" and would basically start every meeting with insisting on reading an article or two about how people commit certs or secrets to github.
