AI Commandments
Thou shalt protect your personal information. NEVER share personal information (name, ID numbers, addresses, etc.) with an AI bot.
Thou shalt read the privacy policy and terms of service before using- protect yourself.
Thou shalt use best practices. AI chatbots are not search engines and require skills to use appropriately. Your result is only as good as your prompt.
Thou shalt use your own brain. AI tools are just that- tools. They do not replace your thinking, but they can help you expand it.
Thou shall keep in mind that every AI tool is only as good as it’s training data, and those are built by humans. Each AI tool uses different data sets to train, so each tool will bring back different responses depending on how old the data set is, who produced it, etc. AI tools are not any more reliable than the society that produced them.
