Amazon warns employees not to share confidential information with ChatGPT

I've been wondering about this too.

chatbots should have a private switch. where they're contractually obligated to delete the information as soon as it's sent.

I wouldn't trust it. What is a contract with a bot? Who will hold it accountable and how?

that's true for all the internet/cloud providers. I'm not sure how you enforce transparency. That's one of the problems with private marketplaces( and service providers) too.

Probably with some sort of exception for certain things.

I don’t want a chatbot unable to reveal someone confessing to murder for example.

First off, ChatGPT is currently free. Assuming you are using it, you are becoming part of the product.

I think they're offering a paid version. which goes along way toward the alignment problem with advertising.

you want to keep making my $40 offer a better bot. The question is do you as a company turn away the opportunity to incorporate ads into the products. (paid for advice)

chatbot as a service is a good business model, but free chatbot with subtle ads is a way bigger opportunity.

Isn't that a fireable offense?, isn't it a sufficient deterrent?, detect leak, instant fire, doesn't matter who it was.

Also, if they sue for damages and/or they disclose reason for firing to future possible employers, then career in field is rightfully damaged.

I thought chatGPT can't learn new things. So anything you tell it, it will forget?

If you ask it, it will tell you it can't be trained or learn new things.

Open AI is logging everything for future training. I don’t think Open AI employees actively look at the logged data, but they likely have people rate the exchanges or suggest replies, so that could be a source of leaks. Besides in 6 months / 1 year, when an updated version is released, Chat GPT might very well spit out some private info information.

That kind of review caused a stir for Apple and Amazon, leading both to curtail the practice.[1]

OpenAI will store all your conversations with ChatGPT. We know this because those conversations appear on the left-hand side of the website where you interact with ChatGPT...

Everything you enter into chatGPT is logged. https://openai.com/privacy/

No, not at all. It said it's not trained on new data (yet). It does not say it cannot learn or will not learn.

Furthermore, https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6783457-chatgpt-faq has the AUP & TOS pretty clearly laid out.

I mean, that's a business model for OpenAI. charge business thru the nose to host their own and be able to give it confidential information.

sometimes it's possible to have it make a program that does what you want.

instead of going through our file structure I had it built a program to do it

Good luck with that!
