Chatbots are uniquely good at getting us to reveal details about ourselves.

People share personal information about themselves all the time online.

Chatbot conversations can stretch on, sometimes for hours , each message rich with data.

For AI companies, your secrets might turn out to be a gold mine.

Many companies have banned ChatGPT and other bots in order to prevent corporate secrets from leaking.
