It can also help you in not getting a job because your health data says you'll be sick in 6 months.

  It would be absolutely amazing if any sort of tech could say that I'm going to have a serious health problem 6 months ahead of time.

    How do you think insurance premiums are calculated?

      How are they calculated? Based on what data? Your google searches? If they don't use goolge search history, why would they use chatgpt history?

        Yeah man, when would technology ever be abused to monitor health data. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/period-tracking-apps-outraged-new-35271403 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/period-tracking-apps-ou...

      In general, health insurance companies (at least in the US) are pretty much prevented from using any health data to set premiums. In fact, many US states prevent insurers from charge smokers higher premiums. (Life insurance companies are different.)

  How do you think that can happen realistically? Like seriously can you explain clearly how the data from ChatGPT gets to your employer?
  • rainonmoon 9mo ago
    It doesn't have to get to your employer, it just has to get to the enormous industry of grey-market data brokers who will supply the information to a third-party who will supply that information to a third-party who perform recruitment-based analytics which your employer (or their contracted recruitment firm) uses. Employers already use demographic data to bias their decisions all the time. If your issue is "There's no way conversations with ChatGPT would escape the interface in the first place," are you... familiar with Web 2.0?
