Microsoft's much-heralded Word app was storing documents as unencrypted DOCX files leaving them viewable by any malware.

We mustn't enter any private info in a large language model (llm) in the 1st place. The conversations are probably used to train ai models.

There should be 2 disclaimers in any llm –

  1. The llm's responses aren't always based on facts. It can say wrong info sometimes.

  2. Users mustn't enter any private info in the llm.
