AI That Always Agrees With You? Here’s Why That’s Dangerous

from BroBots: Technology, Health & Being a Better Human · host Jeremy Grater, Jason Haworth

We trust AI assistants like ChatGPT to be ethical gatekeepers, but what happens when you can bypass those ethics with one simple sentence? Jason discovers he doesn't exist according to ChatGPT (his LinkedIn profile: invisible), while Jeremy's entire professional history is an open book. Then things get weird — we trick ChatGPT into revealing website hacking tools by simply changing our "intent language." In this episode you'll get a live demonstration of ChatGPT's blind spots, ethical loopholes, and surprisingly naive trust model. You'll also understand AI's limitations, learn how easily these tools can be manipulated, and why "trustworthy AI" is still very much a work in progress.
