This can be a slightly extreme example, but it is indicative that with AI you have to be so careful with the data that are facilitated as any other place on the Internet. Not only because data can be filtered, but also because can be used for training models Ia And, eventually, be regurgated in an answer. Or, as happened in March 2023, a Bug in Chatgpt allowed users to see what others wrote in their chats with AI.
