Gusto, a payroll company, just proudly advertised on LinkedIn that they are now working with ChatGPT and Claude in their services.
Basically your information, your *payroll related information* was given to training datasets. Remember what you supply to get a paycheck? Because of payroll taxes.
They're proudly announcing giving "AI" companies your name, address, social security number, tax information, deductions (like having kids), salary, etc.
If your employer uses Gusto you need to ask what they are doing to keep that all safe.
OpenAI unveiled a new feature on Friday that will allow users to share detailed financial information with the chatbot.
On Friday, the company released a preview version of a personal finance feature for U.S.-based ChatGPT Pro users. Select users will now be able to connect their accounts across more than 12,000 financial institutions to the chatbot to view a financial dashboard of their recent account activity and to ask ChatGPT “questions grounded in your financial context,” the company announced in a press release.
The feature also includes a partnership with financial software company Intuit, in which users will be able to schedule sessions with local tax experts all within ChatGPT. The goal is to eventually make the feature available to all users.
“With your financial accounts connected, ChatGPT can combine that reasoning with your real financial context and what you’ve shared about your goals, lifestyle, and priorities, helping you spot patterns, understand tradeoffs, and plan for big decisions in a way that feels more personal and complete,” the company said.
That context can include whether you have a mortgage, if you’re saving up to buy a car, or any debt you are trying to pay off. ChatGPT can remember all that to “inform future conversations” where users might ask the chatbot to analyze changes in spending patterns, figure out the biggest risks in their portfolios, or build out a plan to buy a house in the next five years.
If you are someone reasonably wary of giving out sensitive financial information about yourself, especially to an AI chatbot that had a major data leak scandal not that long ago, you might be thinking, “Why on Earth would I want to do that?” But OpenAI claims there is some existing appetite for it. More than 200 million people every month ask for ChatGPT’s help on things like budgeting, investment strategy, and future planning, the company shared in the press release.
Ello guys! So sorry about not posting, I'm so close to the end of my school year and frankly have been quite exhausted!! Not quite sure what fandoms to draw !!

If you haven’t taken all (or any) of the data breaches seriously….. wtf
I first discovered my data / identity was stolen 2013. With a little research, I found out that someone bought a phone in a store in a state and in a city that I literally have never set foot in. All 3 major (and the smaller 5) credit reporting companies have been hacked with loss of data. You don’t need to be online … ever…
