If you paste plaintext passwords into ChatGPT, the problem is not ChatGPT; the problem is you.
Well tbf chatGPT also shouldn’t remember and then leak those passwords lol.
Did you read the article? It didn’t. Someone received someone else’s chat history appended to one of their own chats. No prompting, just appeared overnight.
Well, that’s even worse.
… That shouldnt be happening, regardless of chat content
Well, yeah, but the point is, ChatGPT didn’t “remember and then leak” anything, the web service exposed people’s chat history.
It also literally says to not input sensitive data…
This is one of the first things I flagged regarding LLMs, and later on they added the warning. But if people don’t care and are still gonna feed the machine everything regardless, then that’s a human problem.
Hello can you help me, my password is such and such and I can’t seem to login.
People literally do this though. I work in IT and people have literally said, out loud, with people around that can hear what we’re saying clearly, this exact thing.
I’m like… I don’t want your password. I never want your password. I barely know what my password is. I use a password manager.
IT should never need your password. Your boss and work shouldn’t need it. I can log in as you without it most of the time. I don’t, because I couldn’t give any less of a fuck what the hell you’re doing, but I can if I need to…
If your IT person knows what they’re doing, most of the time for routine stuff, you shouldn’t really see them working, things just get fixed.
Gah.
Lmao my IT guy asks for our passwords to certain things on an annual basis, stores them as plain text in a fucking email.
First Time he did it I was like “uhh, not supposed to share that?” And he just insisted he needed it. Whatever, he wants to log in to my Autodesk account he’s free to. Not sure how much damage he could do.
ChatGPT doesn’t leak passwords. Chat history is leaking which one of those happens to contain a plain text password. What’s up with the current trend of saying AI did this and that while the AI really didn’t?
They weren’t there when I used ChatGPT just last night (I’m a pretty heavy user). No queries were made—they just appeared in my history, and most certainly aren’t from me (and I don’t think they’re from the same user either).
This sounds more like a huge fuckup with the site, not the AI itself.
Edit: A depressing amount of people commenting here obviously didn’t read the article…
To be fair the article headline is a straight up lie. OpenAI leaked it by sending a user someone else’s chat history, ChatGPT didn’t leak anything.
The ChatGPT service leaked the data. Maybe that can be attributed to the OpenAI organization that owns and operates ChatGPT, too, but it’s not “a straight up lie” to say that ChatGPT leaked information, when ChatGPT is the name of both the service and the LLM that powers the interesting part of that service.
Who knew everyone had the same password as me? I always thought I was the only ‘hunter2’ out there!
Wow! Lemmy is now blurring passwords? It only shows asterisks to me!
So what actually happened seems to be this.
- a user was exposed to another users conversation.
thats a big ooof and really shouldn’t happen
- the conversations that where exposed contained sensitive userinformation
unresponsible user error, everyone and their mom should know better by now
Use local and open source models if you care about privacy.
I absolutely agree. Use somthing like ollama. do keep in mind that it takes a lot of compiting resources to run these models. ~5GB ram ~3GB filesize for the smaller sized ollama-unsensored.
It’s not great, but an old GTX GPU can be had cheaply if you look around refurb, as long as there is a warranty, you’re gold. Stick it into a 10 year old Xeon workstation off eBay, you can have a machine with 8 cores, 32GB RAM and a solid GPU cheaply under $200 easily.
Its the RAM requirement that stings rn, I beleave ive got the specs but was told or misremember a 64 GB ram requirement for a model.
IDK what you’ve read, but I have 24GB and can use Dreambooth and fine-tune Mistral no problem. RAM is only required to load the model briefly before it’s passed to VRAM iirc, and that’s the main deal, you need 8GB VRAM as an absolute minimum, even my 24GB VRAM is often not enough for some high end stuff.
Plus RAM is actually really cheap compared to a GPU. Remember it doesn’t have to be super fancy RAM either, DDR3 is fine if you’re not gaming on a like a Ryzen or something modern
