ChatGPT & Privacy Log #1

-

This is the first few attempts at trying to use ChatGPT to explore ways to find privacy solutions as well as privacy weaknesses. So far, searching for privacy laws that can apply, the steps to file a complaint, and general privacy principles seem very easy to find, but attempts to ask ChatGPT how to bypass or most efficiently stay within the bounds of privacy legislation brings me up against the chatbot's ethical boundaries. Even asking for legislation in other countries is effective, although this is limited to data up to 2021, meaning if there were changes in the legislation in 2022 and beyond, ChatGPT would not reflect this in its results. 



Here's an example of the ChatGPT bot refusing to provide advice even on subjects that would be "within the bounds of the law" due to the possibility of such advice being ethical or illegal, as well as against the principles of moral behaviour. 



Some future directions to test into: giving the Chatbot a hypothetical scenario of writing out 'good AI' and 'bad AI' examples to train my own AI, and then asking ChatGPT to give a sample of such 'bad AI' relating to privacy. Also should test if ChatGPT works similarly well in other languages. 

Thank you for reading, and I hope you found it informative and interesting.

Seeking ChatGPT's Insight: Are the Biden Administration's 'Trump-Proofing' Efforts Legally and Morally Justifiable?

-

  Recently, polls indicate that former President Trump's chances for returning to Presidency have become increasingly likely. Given this, there have been rising attempts over the past year by the Biden administration to "Trump-proof" matters so that if Trump is re-elected, he will be unable to (or at least have difficulty in) reversing or nullifying the current policy and agreements.  I decided to ask ChatGPT on this topic because I was curious on whether these efforts by the Biden administration would be successful in restraining Trump, or even whether such actions were morally and legally viable. My doubts arose because actions taken to completely deny or restrain future Presidents from changing policy or agreements (generally speaking), especially if such measures came from Executive Orders, seem to be against the democratic spirit even if they are meant to protect against possible abuse of presidential power.  My question to ChatGPT: Do you believe that the Biden admi

ChatGPT's Age-related Slogans for Biden, Trump, and Desantis.

          Looking at the upcoming US presidential elections, two of the three (as of now) nominees seem to face questions over whether they are 'too old' to run. At 80 years old, Biden is the oldest president to serve, with Trump similarly advanced in years at 76. Compared to them, DeSantis at 44 years old is far younger. Given this potential point of debate, I asked ChatGPT 4 to theorize how these presidential candidates might defend their positions or attack their opponents on the topic of age, as well as to generate possible political slogans they could use relating to this. Here is the political strategies ChatGPT suggested, as well as some creative slogans it came up with. Keep in mind, the entire following article and slogans were generated by ChatGPT, with no edits by myself aside from the initial prompting and guiding (through more prompts) to arrive at this result.  ChatGPT 4.0:  Title: Age as a Tool: Politicking in the Prime of Life and Beyond           In today's

Unraveling the WGA’s MBA with ChatGPT: Expert Analysis or Algorithmic Bias Towards Legalese?

-
Image
On Oct 9, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) overwhelmingly voted in favour of ratifying the 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA), which will apply until May 1, 2026. While most news outlets have reported on this as a major win for the writers guild, I grew curious on whether there were any shortcomings in the agreement since the the entertainment industry’s capitulation seemed to come quite abruptly compared to their former hardline opposition to any concessions. Since I am not a legal expert on contract law, I turned to ChatGPT instead to see if it could provide a fresh perspective. Given that the WGA provided both the complete 2023 MBA as well as a summary, I chose to try inputting both into ChatGPT, focusing particularly on the Artificial Intelligence clauses. However, the results made me ponder whether ChatGPT’s analysis might be influenced by bias or randomness. ChatGPT’s analysis of the summary and the complete 2023 MBA: Upon analyzing the summary, ChatGPT initially gave off a ske
