ChatGPT user creeped out after AI shares others' info — in yet another eerie episode: ‘Very scary'

AI, yi, yi. With artificial intelligence becoming omnipresent in every sector of life, privacy has become a growing concern among users, wondering where the details they share with the machines are winding up. One woman, who recently used ChatGPT to make a grocery list, was shocked to see the bot get its wires crossed — delivering a message she thinks she wasn't meant to see. 3 'It seems like I mistakenly mixed up the context from a different conversation or account,' said the chatbot when confronted over the alleged leak. AlexPhotoStock – 'I'm having a really very scary and concerning moment with ChatGPT right now,' the TikTok user Liz — who goes by @wishmeluckliz ‚ confessed in a viral video detailing the eerie-sounding episode. Liz claimed that 'somebody else's conversation' infiltrated her thread — and that even the trendy tool told her that this is what had transpired, even though skeptics believe it could be a creepy coincidence. The Post has reached out to ChatGPT's parent company OpenAI for comment. According to the clip, the cybernetic eavesdropping occurred while the content creator was using the AI's voice mode — wherein users can converse with the service — to help facilitate food shopping. However, after rattling off her list of needs, Liz forgot to turn the recorder off and left it running even though she remained silent for a 'long time' afterward, per the clip. 3 Liz called the apparent slip-up 'very scary.' TikTok/@wishmeluckliz Despite the lack of input, the Chat service replied with a seemingly unrelated message that was so jarring that Liz had to double-check via the transcription to make sure she wasn't imagining it. The message read, per a screenshot: 'Hello, Lindsey and Robert, it seems like you're introducing a presentation or a symposium. Is there something specific you'd like assistance with regarding the content or perhaps help with structuring your talk or slides? Let me know how I can assist.'' Liz found the reply bizarre given that she 'never said anything leading up to this.' After retracing the transcript, she realized that the bot had somehow recorded her saying that she was a woman named Lindsey May, who claimed to be the Vice President of Google, and was giving a symposium with another man named Robert. Confused, she broached the issue to GPT in voice mode, saying, 'I was just randomly sitting here planning groceries, and you asked if Lindsey and Robert needed help with their symposium. I'm not Lindsey and Robert. Am I getting my wires crossed with another account right now?' The bot replied, 'It seems like I mistakenly mixed up the context from a different conversation or account. You're not Lindsey and Robert and that message was meant for someone else.' 3 A screenshot of the unrelated message generated by the chatbot. TikTok/@wishmeluckliz 'Thanks for pointing that out and I apologize for the confusion,' it added, seemingly confessing to leaking someone else's private information. Shaken by the apparent admission, Liz said that she hoped she was 'overreacting and that there's a simple explanation for this.' While some TikTok viewers shared her concern of a potential privacy breach, techsperts believe that the bot could've been hallucinating based on patterns in its training data, which is based in part in user input. 'This is spooky — but not unheard of,' assured one AI expert and programmer. 'When you leave voice mode on but don't speak, the model will attempt to extract language from the audio — in the absence of spoken word it will hallucinate.' They added, 'It also isn't crossing wires, but is oriented towards hallucinating in agreement, so you suggested that wires got crossed and it agreed with you in an attempt to successfully 'answer your query.'' On Reddit, AI aficionados cited multiple instances where the bot would reply unprompted. 'Why does it keep transcribing 'Thank you for watching!' when I use voice recorder but am not saying anything?' said one. While seemingly harmless in these cases, hallucinating AI Chatbots can offer dangerous disinformation to humans. Google's AI Overviews, designed to give quick answers to search queries, has been guilty of multiple slips of the technological tongue, including one instance where it advised adding glue to pizza sauce to help cheese stick better. During another case, the AI bot billed a fake phrase — 'You can't lick a badger twice' — as a legitimate idiom.

Meet the lip liner taking over TikTok (and our beauty editor's makeup bag)

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. There are beauty products that go viral, and then there are beauty products that go viral and actually earn their place in your everyday routine. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner? It's both. With more than 1,600 glowing reviews and a growing number of celebrity makeup artists, beauty editors (ahem, moi) and TikTok creators singing its praises, this humble pencil is proving one thing: the best tools don't need bells and whistles. They simply need to work— and work well. Listen, I've tried dozens of glossy balms, defining sticks and stains and soft-focus lip formulas, and ABH's Lip Liner is a throwback in the best way possible. It brings back crisp definition and precision, the kind that turns your lip look from 'meh' to 'wow' in 30 seconds flat. This pencil is here to remind you why using a lip liner is a step you shouldn't ignore. Advertisement Anastasia Beverly Hills The formula is magic, and one of my favorites to use. It's creamy enough to glide across your lips without tugging or skipping, but matte and structured enough to stay put. Seriously, it doesn't fade, bleed or smudge, even after my second coffee. It holds that elusive just-right texture that somehow feels effortless and high-performance all at once. This isn't your average twist-up liner. It's a classic wooden pencil that's the unsung hero of my makeup bag. The square-shaped barrel helps keep the pencil from rolling off my vanity and onto the floor (you know it's happened). Plus, it can be sharpened to a razor-fine point, which means I get clean, exact lines when I'm over-lining, contouring or adding to the shape. And, let's talk wearability. This liner locks in. It'll give your lipstick a boundary to hold on to, or it can fly solo for a softly defined, matte lip that still looks put-together. Basically, it's your lip's new best friend. Not to mention, I've tried nearly all of ABH's products and this is one of my go-to picks. Let's be real: not all lip liners are created equal when it comes to shade range. But, ABH understood the assignment. The line includes 22 versatile, real-world shades that include everything from barely-there neutrals to rich berries and bold browns. One of the top fan-favorites is 'Baby Rose,' a light rosy pink that screams, 'your lips, but better.' Impressively, the shades were crafted with undertones in mind. That means there's something flattering for everyone, whether you're fair, deep, warm, cool or somewhere in between. No guessing games, here; just good, honest color that works with your natural beauty, not against it. There's something quietly powerful about a product that doesn't scream for attention, but earns it anyway. ABH's Lip Liner is just that. It's not flashy. It doesn't come with LED lights or scented caps. But it delivers. It's a quiet luxury item that shows up and performs without needing a spotlight. The feel-good factor is very much present, too. The formula is vegan and cruelty-free, and it's made without parabens, sulfates or mineral oil. So, while you're creating the perfect pout, you're also making a clean choice that aligns with modern beauty values. About the brand Behind every great product is a brand that knows what it's doing, and Anastasia Beverly Hills is that brand. Founded by the iconic Anastasia Soare, ABH has been shaping the beauty world (and our brows) for over 25 years. You've seen their magic on some of the most famous faces in the world, including JLo, the Kardashians, Hailey Bieber, and Michelle Obama — and now that same high-level performance is in the palm of your hand, disguised as a simple, square-shaped pencil. I had the opportunity of meeting the lovely Soare and, let me tell you, her makeup was a-glowing. The entire ethos of her brand is providing Hollywood glam at an accessible price point, but without all the fluff. Her products are long-wearing and skin-enhancing, while dabbling in sparkle and fun color every now and then. How I use the lip liner The best part? You don't need to be a makeup artist to use this lip pencil. It's designed to deliver pro-level results even if you're just swiping it on in your car mirror before a coffee run. It sharpens easily, applies smoothly, and lets you control the shape and depth of your lip look with ease. I love over-lining a bit for extra volume to define my cupid's bow. You can also fill in your entire lip region for a soft matte lip. Or, just use it to make your go-to gloss pop. However you wear it, this liner gives you options without overwhelm. At this point, it's not just a product — it's a movement. From Instagram reels to beauty podcasts, the buzz around this pencil is only growing. But the hype isn't based on trends or gimmicks. It's based on consistent, reliable performance. A product that shows up, shows out, and slots effortlessly into every routine. If you've been looking for your 'forever' lip liner — the one you'll rebuy and recommend. The bottom line Anastasia Beverly Hills The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner is one of those rare products that's gone viral for all the right reasons. It's smart, stylish, and functional. It feels luxe, wears like a dream, and pairs beautifully with literally everything in your collection. It's a lip addict's staple.

Border Collie in 'Stare Down' at Vets, Then Owner Realizes What He Can See

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog has gone viral for his intense reaction to spotting an artwork of a cat while on a visit to the veterinarian's office. Kelsie, who posts to TikTok under the username @kelsieg23, is the proud owner of a border collie, a working breed known for their intelligence, durability—and famous "herding eye," according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). This intense stare intimidates sheep to move through the fields, according to a vet-reviewed report from Wag!. Originally bred to work as herders on farms, border collies kept as family pets have retained their herding eye due to instinct—as proven by a viral video to Kelsie's account. Posted on June 5, and receiving close to 4 million views, the clip shows the blue-eyed collie sitting on the ground and looking upwards, wide-eyed and unblinking. Not moving a muscle, the collie stares intensely at something above him—and the camera then pans to show what's triggered this response. And, rather than prey or any farm animal waiting to be herded, it's revealed to be an artwork of a black cat, its face and paws just visible above the door. When Kelsie pans the camera back to the dog, he's changed his stance—he now stands, closer to the door, with one paw off the ground in a pointing gesture, and still not taking his eyes off the fake cat. Kelsie added to the intensity of the short clip by pairing it with dramatic music from Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," and added as a hashtag in the caption: "Stare down." It proved massively popular, racking up more than 585,0000 likes. "The craziest part is that paper cat will blink first," one commenter joked, as another wrote: "Not him using his eye lasers, pointing leg, and whole body making sure you see it too." Another said the collie was "doing mental calculations on the angle of the ladder he will build and then climb." One praised "the music, the acting, the cinematography" of the video, and yet another predicted "he'll be there for hours." Another commenter, a fan of border collies, wrote: "The tension is outrageous, gotta love herding breeds." The border collie stares intensely at artwork of a cat with the breed's herding eye.

TikTok @kelsieg23 In a later video posted to her account, Kelsie proved her pup isn't affected just by artwork of cats, but the real thing, too, as she shared a clip of the border collie having an intense stare-off with her cat in their home. As one commenter summed it up in the original video: "One thing bout collies is they be looking." Newsweek has contacted @kelsieg23 via TikTok for comment on this story.
