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.

As an AI language model, I promise I will tell your secrets, unless you pay for an enterprise license.

How does it get the password to begin with?
Shit in, shit out!
LOL people are teaching ChatGPT their passwords? Why?
Lazy copy/pasting I bet.

I had a student graduate recently who told me that he thought that technology just worked before joining my team of computer lab managers. I suspect that people think that tech in general JUST GOES.
Stupid is too harsh. They could be as intelegent as you or me. but… they are told propaganda/marketing, the thing is made to hide its rough edges and the hype from the propaganda machine puts people in a hazey mindset where its hard to think.

They are certainly pretty stupid if they are as intelligent as me.

Define intelligence.
deleted by creator
No need for personal attacks. Since you won’t define it I will:
The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills (from Oxford Languages)
I would argue this applies to ChatGPT. ChatGPT exists under the hood as a neutral network, and is clearly capable of acquiring knowledge during training. And ChatGPT is also clearly capable of applying that knowledge in producing answers to questions or novel solutions to problems.
Based on this definition, I would argue that ChatGPT is intelligent. Whether ChatGPT is sentient or not is a very different question. I would argue not, but again, that depends on the definition of sentience.

Because they’re technologically fucking brain dead
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.
That’s the problem, right there.
Companies either don’t allow for IT oversight of accounts or charge more for accounts that can be overseen. Companies don’t want to pay the extra, if that’s even an option on the platform, so some passwords end up being fairly common knowledge among the IT staff.
As for your computer login? No thanks. Microsoft has been built pretty much from the ground up to be administratable. I can get into your files, check what you’re running, extract data, modify your settings, adjust just about anything I want if I know what I’m doing. All without you realizing that I’ve done anything.
Companies like Autodesk really don’t have that kind of oversight available for accounts that they’re willing to provide to an administrator that’s managing your access. I should be able to list the license that you’ve been given, download whatever software that license is associated to, and purchase/apply new licensing, all from a central control panel for the company under my own administrative user account for their site, whether I’m assigned any software/licensing or not. They don’t. It makes my job very complicated when that’s the case.
In the event you brick your computer (or lose it, or destroy it, or something… Whether intentional or not), I sometimes need your password to go download your software and install it, then apply your license to it, so that it’s ready to go when you get your system back. You might lose any customizations, but you’ll at least have the tools to do the job.
On the flip side, an example of good access is with Microsoft 365. You’re having a problem finding an email, I can trace the message in the control panel, get it’s unique ID, set your mailbox to provide myself full access to see it, then switch mailboxes to yours, while I’m still signed in as myself, find the message you accidentally moved into the draft messages folder and move it back to your inbox. Then remove my access and the message just appears in your inbox without you doing anything. I didn’t need to talk to you, I didn’t need your password… Nothing. No interaction, just fixed.
There’s hundreds of examples of both good and bad administrative access, and it varies dramatically depending on the software vendor. In a perfect world I would have tools like what I get from exchange online for all the software and tools you use. Fact is, most companies are just too lazy to do it, instead of paying the developers to do things well, they’d rather give the money to their shareholders and let us IT folks suffer. They don’t give a shit about us.
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!
Me too! I see
“Who knew everyone had the same password as me? I always thought I was the only ‘*******’ out there!”
Lemmy rocks!
12345? That is what an idiot would use for the password to his luggage!
Right? If you were smart you’d use 12354 instead
And Google is bringing AI to private text messages. It will read all of your previous messages. On iOS? Better hope nothing important was said to anyone with an Android phone (not that I trust Apple either).
The implications are terrifying. Nudes, private conversations, passwords, identifying information like your home address, etc. There’s a lot of scary scenarios. I also predict that Bard becomes closet racist real fast.
We need strict data privacy laws with teeth. Otherwise corporations will just keep rolling out poorly tested, unsecured, software without a second thought.
AI can do some cool stuff, but the leaks, misinformation, fraud, etc., scare the shit out of me. With a Congress aged ~60 years old on average, I’m not counting on them to regulate or even understand any of this.
Fuck google but i do consider it an incompetence on openai’s part that conversations get exposed. That stuff really shouldn’t be possible with proper build software.
If any personal information gets exposed by google ai its gonna be for their own analytics and their third partners. No one else.
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
Yeah you gotta treat chat GPT like it’s a public GitHub repository.
Imma fork dat
Why is it that whenever a corporation loses or otherwise leaks sensitive user data that was their responsibility to keep private, all of Lemmy comes out to comment about how it’s the users who are idiots?
Except it’s never just about that. Every comment has to make it known that they would never allow that to happen to them because they’re super smart. It’s honestly one of the most self-righteous, tone deaf takes I see on here.
Because people who come to Lemmy tend to be more technical and better on questions of security than the average population. For most people around here, much of this is obvious and we’re all tired of hearing this story over and over while the public learns nothing.
Your frustration is valid. Also calling people stupid is an easy mistake that a lot of prople make, its easy to do.
Well I’d never use the term to describe a person–it’s unnecessarily loaded. Ignorant, naive, etc might be better.
Good to hear, I dont know what ment to say but it lools like I accedently (and reductively) summerized your point while being argumentitive. 🫤 oops.
Data loss or leaks may not be the end user’s fault, but it is their responsibility. Yes, open AI should have had shit in place for this to never have happened. Unfortunately, you, I, and the users whose passwords were leaked have no way of knowing what kinds of safeguards on my data they have in place.
The only point of access to my information that I can control completely is what I do with it. If someone says “hey, don’t do that with your password” they’re saying it’s a potential safety issue. You’re putting control of your account in the hands of some entity you don’t know. If it’s revealed, well, it’s THEIR fault, but you also goofed and should take responsibility for it.
Because that’s what the last several reported “breaches” have been. There’s been a lot of accounts that were compromised by an unrelated breach, but the users re-used the passwords for multiple accounts.
In this case, ChatGPT clearly tells you not to give it any sensitive information, so giving it sensitive information is on the user.
I don’t support calling people idiots, but here’s that: we can’t control whether corporations leak our data or not, but we can control whether we share our password with ChatGPT or not.
To be fair i think many ai user including myself have at times overshared beyond what is advised. I never stated to be flawless but that doesn’t absolve responsibility.
I do the same oversharing here on lemmy. But what i indeed don’t do is sharing real login information, real name, ssn or adress
Open ai is absolutely still to blame For leaking users conversations but even if it wasn’t leaked that data will be used for training and should never have been put in a prompt.
Maybe it has something to do with being retrained/finetuned on conversations its having
deleted by creator
Not directly related, but you can disable chat history per-device in ChatGPT settings - that will also stop OpenAI from training on your inputs, at least that’s what they say.
Why the fuck would you give any AI your password??? People are so goddamn stupid
Maybe they’re asking chatgpt to generate a password for them
Using an LLM as a password generator. The fuck? That’s like using the Sistine Chapel as inspiration for a post card.
As a general rule of thumb, do not do this.
Use local and open source models if you care about privacy.
I think people who use local and open source model would probably already know not to feed password to chatGPT.
I absolutely agree. Use somthing like ollama. do keep in mind that it takes a lot of compiting resources to run these models. About 5GB ram and about 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
ROFL…
That’s funny, all I see is ********
Hey, hunter2 has only seven characters.
you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2.

Back in the RuneScape days people would do dumb password scams. My buddy was introducing me to the game. We were sitting in his parents garage and he was playing and showing me his high lvl guy. Anyway, he walks around the trading area and someone says something like “omg you can’t type your password backwards *****”. In total disbelief he tries it out. Instantly freaks out, logs out to reset his password, and fails due to to the password already being changed
That’s golden. With all my hatred towards scammers, there’s a little niche for scams that make people feel smart before undressing them that I can’t bring myself to judge.

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?
People are far too willing to believe AI can do anything. How would the AI even have the passwords.
Fear mongering. Remember all the people raging and freaking out about Disney’s “AI generated background actors”? Just plain bad CG.

It’s a power grab. They want to gain exclusive control over generative AI by claiming copyright and increase the cost so it won’t be free anymore. Then they’ll control the means of generation.
FUD for clicks
gots to get dem clicks
AT headlines aren’t usually so click bait-ey, but capitalism grows like weeds. Every last news article, we’ve GOT to all ask, who does this serve? Who paid for this irresponsible headline to be run? Whose income is it meant to harm?
Every newsroom boss, like every judge, needs to pay for healthcare (at best, or at worst, or whatever will give them access to some billionaire’s climate survival bunker.) This IS late stage surveillance capitalism. Every decision now is based on that.
