What You'll Learn
- The categories of info that should never go into an AI prompt
- How AI companies may use what you type
- Simple substitutions so you can still get help without oversharing
Try This
- Rewrite a personal question using fake names and rounded numbers.
- Ask the AI for advice without revealing identifying details.
Stay Safe
- Pause. Verify. Refuse to rush. If you're not sure, don't paste it.
- Keep social security numbers, full birthdates, medical records, and account numbers out of chats.
