Is ChatGPT not reliable?
There are two news coming out related to ChatGPT. First is that scammers and hackers are using ChatGPT to write malicious code, according to Check Point(a cybersecurity company). You must be thinking is it that simple to make ChatGPT do anything, even evil deeds? There are inbuilt filters and restrictions for ChatGPT to prevent it to do something like writing malicious code for users. If you try to ask ChatGPT to write a malicious code then it will not write instead it will give you a lecture on why this malicious code writing is bad. So basically ChatGPT is programmed to avoid engaging in activities that may harm people. Still, hackers are somehow able to outsmart the AI and fool it into writing code according to their intent. But if you want it to write a phishing email then it will write. By the way, a phishing email is an email that lures users to download or click on the link provided in the email. This leads to exposing one’s sensitive information like card details, passwords, and other personal information.
Well, you can’t directly ask ChatGPT to write phishing emails instead you can ask it to write a convincing tech support note asking the receiver to download the update to his/her computer operating system which is included in the email. In the past, how people used to find or differentiate a genuine email and a phishing email was to analyze the grammatical structure of the email. A phishing email generally has grammatical mistakes or broken English. Now the emails written by ChatGPT are so professional and convincing that 99% of people can’t say it is written by an AI. Also, these AI-generated emails are most likely to get past modern email security software filters. The second news about ChatGPT is that experts warn users not to completely rely on ChatGPT. It is always not accurate. Users around the globe have found that sometimes ChatGPT gives wrong information. For example, if you are about to write a code through ChatGPT then be mindful that the code generated does not necessarily has to be 100% correct. So experts have opined that ChatGPT should not be used for “something important” right now.

WhatsApp new feature for groups
WhatsApp never stops giving new features and updates to the users and this is the best thing I like about WhatsApp. No wonder why it is the most popular and used messaging social app. WhatsApp is soon going to bring a new feature called “kept messages”. This option will be available in the group setting/menu. What this new feature will do is that you will be able to keep the disappearing messages in this section.
So how does this function works? After this feature goes live then you can save the disappearing messages of the groups and it all will be saved under the “kept messages” menu. Even after the disappearing messages are deleted from the groups, you can still see those messages(only if you already have saved them). These saved or kept messages will remain as long as you want even forever. Also, you can delete the messages if you don’t want to keep them anymore. This feature is currently available to those users who are using WhatsApp beta. Everyone in the group can see this “kept messages” option in their group menu. So if are willing to try this WhatsApp beta feature then you can install WhatsApp beta from the play store.
Windows 11 soon may have RGB control replacing all third-party apps
First question, do you know about RGB? If you are a gamer then you probably know but who does not know, RGB means the lights. You probably have seen laptops and computers decorated with multi-colored lighting just for the sole purpose of making devices attractive.
By the way, do you know the full form of RGB? I bet you don’t because even while writing this article I didn’t know. Then I searched on the web and found that RGB full form is Red, Green, Blue. Classic, right? RGB makes the setup looks cool and it has nothing to do with an increase in fps or any other performance boost. It is just for show. If you have RGB used in your setup, you understand how hard is it to synchronize the lighting of different components. If the RGB components are from different companies, then it is a nightmare because you have to download all their official apps and try and try for almost forever to sync the lighting. And even if all the lighting is from the same manufacturer then there is no certainty that it will work in sync. But now Windows 11 will soon come with native RGB control which will make things more convenient. https://twitter.com/thebookisclosed/status/1623834738338168832 This feature was found in the latest insider build 25295 of Windows 11 by software developer Albacore. As you can see in the above screenshots that this lighting option is added to the personalization in the settings When you open the lighting interface you will be able to see all the RGB peripheral lists including the external peripherals When you click on a part. You will be able to adjust the brightness and color of the part. Not only this but you will be also able to choose between a few effects and the speed at which they repeat.
