Why you need a VPN if you’re using ChatGPT or other AI chatbots

AI chatbots collect a significant amount of personal information, including email address, username, subscription plan, messages sent, responses generated, features used, timestamps, device/browser type, IP address, and any files or images shared. Although ChatGPT claims not to sell user data, the extensive data collected raises privacy concerns, especially in the event of a data breach. Users may not be fully aware of potential changes in data policies, which could allow for future selling or misuse of their data. To protect their data while using chatbots, individuals are advised to utilize a VPN service.

I simplified my Google Photos searching and editing with this trick

Google Photos has introduced a new feature called Ask Photos, which allows users to edit images using natural-language prompts instead of traditional editing tools. This feature is available for personal Google accounts in the U.S. and requires users to opt in and enable face match and location estimation. While Ask Photos simplifies the editing process, users should be cautious about privacy, as prompts will be used for training purposes, even though Google does not use photos or videos for AI training. To use Ask Photos, users must open the Google Photos app, select a photo, tap the Edit button, and enter their request in the Help me edit text field. Additionally, Google Photos provides transparency regarding edits through C2PA Content Credentials, which document the types of edits made and distinguish between original and edited photos.
