Using ChatGPT Safely, and What Information You Should Never Give It: an Analysis

Dr. Joseph Mercola-Analysis : Jan 11, 2024  Mercola

BCN Editor's Note: Many people, businesses, students and schools are using ChatGPT regularly, however, the bottom line of this admittedly remarkable AI tool, is that it is the product of those who have inputted the information and programmed it. Because of this, ChatGPT is going to have a bias toward the programmers' world view. Users would do well to keep this in mind. -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News...

[Mercola] STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are taking the world by storm, it's important to understand their strengths and drawbacks
  • ChatGPT answers can be significantly improved by entering custom instructions and learning to create better prompts to discourage fabrications and hallucinations
  • According to one large-scale study, ChatGPT "shows a significant and systemic left-wing bias ... favoring the Labour Party and ...Joe Biden's Democrats"
  • Never share confidential information with ChatGPT or any other LLM. Never use it to organize or analyze such information, and never type in your name, address, email, phone number or any other personal identifiers in the chat box
  • All conversations with ChatGPT are stored on open servers, shared with other LLMs, and used as an AI training tool, which means your information can end up being included in responses to other people's questions

It's been just a short 14 months since ChatGPT and the other large language models (LLMs) which are the progenitors of artificial general intelligence (AGI) have been available to us. I suspect many of you have explored their use. It's a fascinating technology that has enormous potential to serve as patient teachers to help you understand a wide range of concepts that you might find confusing.

One of the challenges of writing this newsletter is that it is virtually impossible to simplify certain medical concepts because there's such a wide range of medical knowledge among the readers.

I regularly use ChatGPT to answer certain biological questions or concepts that I am unclear about. For example, I recently did a deep dive on the mechanisms of how carbon dioxide (CO2) might work as one of the most effective and simple interventions to improve health and prevent disease.

I was really impressed with how quickly it would explain complex physiology that could help me understand the topic better. It occurred to me that my readers could use this tool to help them understand areas of medical science that they don't yet fully understand.

A classic example of this would be mitochondrial cellular energy production and the electron transport chain function. It is clearly a very complex topic but you can continuously ask ChatGPT as many questions as you want, and repeat your questions until you understand it.

This is a great example to use because it is a topic that many don't fully understand, yet it's not controversial—it doesn't violate any medical narrative that is radically influenced by the pharmaceutical paradigm. As long as you restrict your use of this tool to basic science topics you should be OK, and I would encourage you to do this on a regular basis. You can use the video above to help you refine your search strategies.

You just want to be very, very careful and avoid ever asking any questions that relate to treatment options, because you can be virtually certain it will be biased toward the conventional narrative and give you incorrect information. It will even warn you that something you know to be both effective and harmless is dangerous.

For example, the last thing you would want to ask the program is how to treat heart disease, diabetes or obesity. It will merely regurgitate what the drug companies want you to hear and give you serious warnings about the dangers of any strategy that conflicts with these recommendations...
