ChatGPT has a new option to lock individual conversations. It's built for moments when you hand your device to someone to show one chat and want the personal ones, or that surprise you're planning, kept private.
You can show ChatGPT to a client or coworker without worrying they'll stumble onto a conversation meant only for you.
Meta has paused the Muse feature that creates shareable links to your conversations with the assistant. Researchers at security firm Claroc found more than 6,800 of those links in public DNS records.
Before sharing a link to any AI chat, double check it doesn't contain customer or company details.
Lightroom on iOS, iPadOS and Android can now use generative AI to open closed eyes in photos. When the app spots someone blinking, it offers the fix on its own.
