Chatbots Infer Personal Details from User Interactions

Chatbots Infer Personal Details from User Interactions

Chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini can infer personal details about users from their interactions.

For example, they can guess a user's income level based on the type of car they own and their employment of a nanny.

They can also infer health issues from questions about remedies for specific ailments.

Users can try specific prompts to see what the chatbots have inferred about them.

While this can be unsettling, it also highlights the chatbots' ability to provide personalized responses.

Users concerned about privacy can opt out of data sharing in the settings.
