Think Twice Before Creating That ChatGPT Action Figure
1 min read
Summary
ChatGPT users are currently creating personalised action figures using the platform’s image generator function, which uses photos to create accurate depictions of the subject that can be 3D printed.
However, using this function equates to voluntarily giving away reams of data, including EXIF data showing where and when the photo was taken, as well as behavioural data such as how the user interacts with the platform.
This voluntarily offered data is a rich resource that OpenAI can use to further train its models.
While using images to create cartoon depictions of individuals does not usually constitute using biometric data, it is important to be aware of what data is being shared and how it is being used, as well as being mindful of the privacy settings contained within the platform.
