<h2>Credit cards, affairs and ChatGPT</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many years ago, when I was doing my Bachelor's thesis, I had a fun conversation
|
|
with Dolors, my tutor back then. She was a smart woman, and so the interesting chats
|
|
were the norm. That day we ended up discussing how people are typically concerned with their privacy,
|
|
yet their banks knew so much about them and they wouldn't mind. She summed it up in a sentence that
|
|
stuck with me: "The easiest way to find out if a husband is having an affair is just to read his credit
|
|
card statement".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I've been using ChatGPT profusely during the last couple of years. It's not God's Mana, nor
|
|
I think it will destroy the world. But it's quite useful for some stuff, and I've been
|
|
pulling it up more and more frequently.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The other day I came across these guys: <a href="https://trymaple.ai/" target="_blank"
|
|
rel="noopener noreferrer">trymaple.ai</a>. Long story short, it's like ChatGPT,
|
|
but they use (and apparently <a href="https://trymaple.ai/proof">prove</a>) an architecture that means
|
|
nobody, not even them, can see your chats. That's it, that's the selling point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It brought back to my memory the credit cards quote, and I started scrolling through my
|
|
ChatGPT history. For the first time, I looked at it with an adversarial mindset, as if I was
|
|
a spy spying on myself. With an attitude of: "What can I find out about this Pablo guy here?".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I was horrified when I realised there was a lot about me you could find out in those chats.
|
|
Among the many questions on coding and technical bits, some other chats gave away a lot of
|
|
details of my life. And that suddenly made me feel really uncomfortable. These guys are not
|
|
even charging me (I'm using their free tier) and they are sitting on all of this data... I
|
|
thought to myself this couldn't end well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I purchased a plan from Maple AI and I've replaced ChatGPT with it. Barely noticed the difference.
|
|
And now I'm feeling much more calm about dropping cues on me in the chat.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I hope we see more and more zero-knowledge, E2E encrypted SaaS offerings out there. I'm surely willing
|
|
to pay for them.
