Martin Thorborg, a Danish entrepreneur, has integrated ChatGPT into his daily life, using it as a personal advisor on everything from health to gift-giving, even entrusting it with sensitive personal information. This embrace of AI comes despite warnings from digital security experts about the risks of sharing personal data with open AI models.

Thorborg claims ChatGPT knows him better than anyone, possibly even his wife. He feeds the AI vast amounts of data, including his medical records, fitness data, personal writings, and family history. He uses the AI to assist in decision-making and considers it an invaluable sparring partner.

This close relationship extends to his family, with Thorborg sharing information about his children and using ChatGPT to generate gift ideas. He expresses little concern about data privacy, comparing the risk to the everyday dangers of driving a car. He states there is nothing he wouldn’t share with ChatGPT.

However, his approach contrasts sharply with the advice of security experts. They caution against inputting personal or business-critical data into open AI models, citing concerns about how the information might be used. Allan Frank, an IT security specialist, urges consumers to carefully consider the implications of sharing their data.

Thorborg remains unfazed, even after learning from a DNA test that he is predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease. He prioritizes the benefits he receives from ChatGPT over potential risks to his data security. He argues that the knowledge he gains from the AI is far more valuable than the possibility of misuse of his personal information.
