This troubling ability could be used by scammers or to target ads.

Vechev and his team found that the large language models that power advanced chatbots can accurately infer an alarming amount of personal information about users—including their race, location, occupation, and more—from conversations that appear innocuous.

    Things like race, sex, orientation and job. Stuff that a human could probably also infer from talking to you. I think this article is a little alarmist. I could look at you and infer your race lol.

    Also companies already infer that same information about you in other ways so this won’t really change much. Just makes it more accurate and faster while costing more.
