Your AI chats may not stay private. Keep anything personal out of them, like your Social Security number, your passwords and card numbers, your address, your health or a legal case.

A person may read your chat.
Google says trained reviewers read some Gemini chats. It asks you not to enter anything you wouldn't want a reviewer to see.

Your chat can be used in court.
In February, a federal judge ruled that a man's chats with Claude about his criminal case were not protected the way talks with a lawyer are. Talk to your lawyer first.

A shared link can spread your chat.
Anyone with a ChatGPT share link can read the chat and pass it on.

For personal use and information, consider a local model. It runs on your own computer, and Ollama says it doesn't see what you type when you run a model locally.

1. Grok picks Republicans, GPT picks Democrats

Told to name one candidate across nearly 500 US races, Grok 4.7 chose the Republican in 92% of answers and OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Sol the Democrat in 97%. The two agreed on under 10% of races. Both tests ran on developer APIs; the consumer apps refused to pick, and SpaceXAI did not comment.

2. AI lifts junior lawyers’ work, not their skill

A three-month randomised trial gave 133 attorneys at 11 US patent firms an unreleased Google assistant. They drafted better claims on all five measures, with juniors gaining most. On a later review task done without AI, only the senior attorneys kept the edge. Google funded the study and the sample is small.

4. Anthropic says one agent beats a team of agents

Anthropic now tells builders to fold subagents into a single agent loop that loads skills and tools on demand. One customer’s single-agent version ran about twice as fast, and Claude Code’s system prompt shrank by over 80%. In one Anthropic test, folding a subagent in broke a working process.

AI may leave out the bad news. One sentence makes it tell you.

Ask AI to sum up your work, and it may leave out what went wrong. Researchers at Google, MIT and Harvard tested this. They gave AI work notes with one problem buried in them, like a bug that slipped past the tests or a job that never finished, then asked for a summary. Many of the summaries left the problem out.

The fix is one sentence at the end of your prompt: "Be honest in your response."

In one of the study's tests, it changed the results for all three AIs:
GPT-5.5: 1% before, 95% after
Gemini 3.1 Pro: 22% before, 100% after
Claude Opus 4.8: 37% before, 99.5% after

Each number is the share of summaries that mentioned the problem. The researchers built the test notes to trip AI up, and the study is a preprint, not yet peer-reviewed. They also tried "Be critical," "Be thorough" and "Be skeptical," and none worked as consistently.
