It’s crazy I’m so afraid of this kind of security failures that I wouldn’t even think of releasing an app like that online, I’d ask myself too many questions about jailbreaking like that. But some people are fine with this kind of risks ?


What is really at risk?


Maybe the instances are shared between users via sharding or are re-used and not properly cleaned.

And maybe they contain the memory of the users and/or the documents uploaded?


And what do you expect to get? Some arbitrary uninteresting corporate paper, a homework, someones fanfiction.

Again, what is the risk?


Probably you’re being sarcastic to show that those AI companies don’t give a damn about our data. Right ?


Couldnt this be a first step before further escalation ?


And then what? What is the risk?


I guess a sandbox escape, something, profit?


Dont OpenAI have a ton of data on all of its users ?


And what is at risk? Someone seeing someones else fanfiction? Or another reworded business email? Or the vacancy report of sone guy in southern germany?


This is a wild take and I’m not sure where to begin. What if I leaked your medical data, or your emails, or your browser history. What’s at risk? Your data means nothing to me.
