What about Google Docs, Office 365, Github, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, JIRA, Zendesk, etc?
What is different about ChatGPT (if anything)?
What is different about ChatGPT (if anything)?
ChatGPT seems to be used more like a fast stackoverflow, except people aren't thinking of it like a forum where others will see their question so they aren't as cautious. We're just waiting for some company's data to show up remixed into an answer for someone else and then plastered all over the internet for the infosec lulz of the week.
For every company like yours there are hundreds that don't. People use free gmail address for sensitive company stuff, paste random things in random pastebins, put their private keys in public repos, etc.
Yes, data leaks from OpenAI are bound to happen (again), and they should beef up their security practices.
But thinking people are using only ChatGPT in an insecure way vastly overestimates their security practices elsewhere.
The solution is education, not avoiding new tools.
And, IIRC, pay-as-you-go API requests are explicitly not used for training data. I'm sad GPT-4 isn't there yet - except for those who won the waitlist lottery.
If people were smart and performed according to best practices, articles like this one would not be necessary.
I am honestly confused how people can use this thing with the interface OpenAI runs. The app has been near-unusable for me, for months, on every device I tried it on.
And what sort of understanding do you have with the alternative frontends/integrations about how they handle your API keys and data? This might be a better solution for a variety of reasons but it doesn't automatically mean your data is being handled any better or worse than by openai.com
Some of those are document tools working on language / knowledge. Others are infrastructure, working on ... whatever your infra does, and your infra manages your data (knowledge).
If you read their data policies, you'll find they are not the same.
