Cut to reality, people are pouring out their deepest and darkest secrets to Chat GPT thinking GPT will take their secrets to its grave.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>People tell the weirdest of things to GPT- relationship problems, addictions, family trauma, and private shame they wouldn\u2019t tell friends or family.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>A 2026 YouGov poll found 34% of US adults said they would be comfortable sharing mental health concerns with an AI chatbot instead of a human therapist.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>If there was a remotest of hope of your conversations being a secret, Open AI&#8217;s CEO Sam Altman broke the illusion recently by revealing that your Chat Gpt conversations are &#8216;Not safe&#8217;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>\u201cPeople talk about the most personal details in their lives to ChatGPT. People use it, young people, especially, use it as a therapist, a life coach; having these relationship problems and asking &#8216;what should I do?&#8217;,&#8221; Altman said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>\u201cAnd right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there&#8217;s legal privilege for it. There&#8217;s doctor-patient confidentiality, there&#8217;s legal confidentiality, whatever. And we haven&#8217;t figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT,\u201d he warned.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Altman said if authorities request they be given the access to your conversations, Open AI won&#8217;t deny. \u201cIf someone confides their most personal issues to ChatGPT, and that ends up in legal proceedings, we could be compelled to hand that over. And that&#8217;s a real problem,\u201d the OpenAI CEO said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Last year, a US federal judge ordered OpenAI to preserve and separate ChatGPT output log data in The New York Times\u2019 copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>To put it simply, if you confess to a crime, discuss one, or your conversations later become relevant to an investigation or lawsuit, those chats could potentially be used as evidence in legal proceedings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Meanwhile, OpenAI&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/etimes\/trending\/before-you-tell-chatgpt-your-deepest-secrets-read-sam-altmans-privacy-warning\/articleshow\/132158714.cms\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u200eBefore you tell ChatGPT your deepest secrets, read Sam Altman&#8217;s privacy warning https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/etimes\/trending\/before-you-tell-chatgpt-your-deepest-secrets-read-sam-altmans-privacy-warning\/articleshow\/132158714.cms Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":285268,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/msid-132158785,width-1280,height-720,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600\/photo.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-285267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285267"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285267"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285269,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285267\/revisions\/285269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
