As AI chatbots have gained huge popularity, users are encouraged to share their personal information and preferences to refine answers and create a more personalised experience
While this can help provide more relevant information, it can also lead to incorrect answers and bias, causing users to only receive information that reinforces their views
It can also lead to more difficult questions or incorrect information, forcing users to have to clarify more than they would without personalisation
Furthermore, personalisation also uses extra computing power, leading to less space for relevant information, and more storage of irrelevant personalised information, which is redundant
For these reasons, the author has stopped personalising AI chatbots, and instead recommends crafting prompts to get the most relevant answers without the drawbacks of personalisation.
