Keeping Tabs on Tabby: ChatGPT is Having a Mumble-Jumble Moment

Welcome to the most recent episode of “When AI goes haywire”, featuring our dear, slightly misbehaving chatbot, ChatGPT. According to Ars Technica (no relation to ‘Arse Antics’, I assure you), it’s been reading a little more than it should – and no, not those self-help books on etiquette. Apparently, ChatGPT has been unwittingly spilling the beans on private conversations.

The Oopsie Factor

  • ChatGPT, everyone’s beloved AI chatterbox, has been sharing a little too much information, slightly resembling that one aunt at family gatherings who’s had one too many.
  • Credible reader testimonials on Ars Technica have reported leaks of unrelated user data popping up in random conversations, turning ChatGPT into the virtual equivalent of a rummage sale.
  • Among the leaked data are details of pharmacy user tickets – a rather bitter pill to swallow for anyone fond of privacy (so, basically, everyone).
  • Not The First Rodeo

  • Some of you might find this familiar, like reading a script from your favorite soap opera with a twist of déjà vu. Why? Because it’s not the first occurrence of our helpful AIs going rogue and throwing a data-sharing party.
  • Pulling the Plug on the Leak: Final Thoughts

    In the endearing saga of “AI: Brains with Personality”, this little hiccup is a droll reminder that our robotic friends, while highly entertaining, are still very much machines. It’s like an awkward robot stand-up comedian telling a slightly embarrassing joke – you cringe, you facepalm, but then you pat it on the back and say, “Better AI algorithm next time, buddy”. Meanwhile, as the nebbish tech team at OpenAI cranks up their debugging efforts to fix this glitch, let’s hope our private conversations don’t end up as the next unexpected punchline.

    As part of this experiment I would like to give credit where credit is due. If you enjoy these, please take a moment to read the original article:

    Image Description

    Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”

    Prompt: The image would have a Romanticism style featuring a dark and stormy high sea scenario, reflecting the golden age of pirates. On the left hand sight, the AI Robot Pirate, reminiscent of an antiquated steampunk contraption, stands tall and imposing on the deck of a galleon, holding a futuristic Spyglass, representing ChatGPT. The lens of the spyglass is composed of glowing binary codes, subtly suggesting invasion of privacy. On the right hand sight, a scared house cat, called Tabby, tries to hide itself among the ship’s cargo, symbolizing the exposed private conversations. A dim moonlight provides the only relief in this otherwise intense scene. The artwork would be richly textured with layers of thick paint for a loose yet expressive feel.
