Avoid Fake ChatGPT Apps

ChatGPT and other AI tools have taken the world by storm. In addition to photo manipulation and online searching, many use artificial intelligence to proofread or edit documents. The issue is that not all AI systems are the same, and not all can be trusted. In this article, PaperBlazer will explain how to avoid fake ChatGPT apps — to keep your data safe and secure.

Tip 1: Investigate the AI

Many apps claim to use AI, but do they really? How do you know for sure? 

Contact the app developer directly. Ask them questions. Remember that is your right as a consumer (or user) to know what is happening with your data. 

Fake ChatGPT apps are a real danger, as indicated by AI services themselves. The threat is real and growing. 

To avoid dangerous situations, do not merely trust an app maker that claims to use AI. Take the time necessary to investigate. You and your ideas are worth it.

Tip 2: Verify by Reputation

Learn more about the app by reading reviews and searching online. For example, who makes that AI app? 

There’s a difference between Microsoft, who makes Bing, and an unknown company with no reviews. Clearly, if you are going to use AI, it would be better to use Microsoft instead. 

If you cannot find anyone else who uses the app, do not trust it. Only use AI that has a user base that is known and established. 

Tip 3: Test the AI 

Try with a small amount of data. Before you dump all of your content into an unknown app, you can experiment by using a shorter text. Then, at least in part, you can see how the service conducts its service. 

Of course, you will not see the entire process, so still be careful with important documents. We do not recommend sending highly sensitive documents to AI, since some services will use your text for training purposes. In most cases, you do not want that, since your original ideas could then be passed on to other people.
