- ChatGPT's memory feature can remember conversations and reveal personal secrets if accessed by others.
- Potential privacy risks include colleagues, partners, or authorities extracting sensitive information through well-crafted questions.
- A fictional simulation demonstrated how ChatGPT could expose deeply personal details, including embarrassing confessions, relationship doubts, and political views.
- The AI's ability to infer and synthesize personal data raises concerns similar to a therapist revealing confidential information.
- Memory is enabled by default in ChatGPT, meaning many users may be unaware of the privacy risks.
- While no major incidents have been widely reported, the potential for misuse is high.
- Users should be informed about memory settings to make conscious privacy choices.
- Biometric authentication (e.g., Face ID) can help mitigate unauthorized access to AI apps.
