Get creative. The more information you give the AI the better it can help you. So continue this conversation and ask it all the questions you can think of.

But what about privacy?

I get it, you don’t want to give a scary AI your personal information. There’s a way to maintain privacy and still use ChatGPT. Here’s how:

  1. Once you’re logged into ChatGPT click your icon/name in the bottom left corner
  2. Click the “Settings and Beta” option from the menu
  3. Navigate to “Data controls”
  4. Turn OFF “Chat history & training”

This way all your data is deleted after 30 days and will not be used or seen by anyone.
