⚠️ What You Should NEVER Do When Testing an AI
1️⃣ Do Not Use Your Personal or Main Email
🔹 Create a separate email account just for AI registrations.
🔹 Use providers with strong security measures (Gmail, ProtonMail, Outlook).
🔹 Avoid using emails with your real name or personal details.
2️⃣ Do Not Share Personal Information
🚫 Never enter sensitive data such as:
- Full name
- Home or work address
- ID, passport, phone number
- Personal or family photos
- Banking details or passwords
🔹 Some AI systems store and process what you write. You don’t know who might have access to that data.
3️⃣ Do Not Upload Personal Documents
📂 Avoid uploading files such as:
- Resumes, contracts, invoices
- Photos of your ID/passport
- Medical records
🔹 If an AI asks you to upload files, think twice before doing so.
4️⃣ Do Your Research Before Registering
🔍 How to know if an AI is trustworthy?
✔️ Look for reviews on forums and social media.
✔️ Check who created it and which company manages it.
✔️ Read the privacy policy (yes, even if it’s boring).
❌ If the service is unknown, hosted on a suspicious website, or asks for unnecessary data, avoid using it.
5️⃣ Do Not Use Untrusted AI on Personal Devices
💻 Use a secondary computer or phone if you're testing an AI from an unknown source.
🔹 Do not install AI apps or browser extensions from unofficial sources.
6️⃣ Beware of AI That Promises Too Much
❌ “Make automatic money with AI”
❌ “Hack accounts using AI”
❌ “Find secret information with AI”
🔹 Many of these are scams designed to steal your data or infect your device with malware.
7️⃣ Disable Access to Your Camera and Microphone
🎥 Some AI platforms may request unnecessary permissions.
🔹 Only enable your camera/microphone if absolutely necessary and in a trusted AI system.
8️⃣ Use a VPN If Accessing AI from Untrusted Sites
🔹 This hides your IP address and protects your identity.
9️⃣ Read the Terms of Use Before Accepting
📜 Some AI platforms may claim ownership of your creations.
🔟 Be Cautious If an AI Asks for Money
💸 Do not enter payment details without thoroughly investigating the platform first.

🔒 Your security comes first. AI is powerful, but don’t let it put you at risk.
- Sometimes, when browsing the internet for the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence, it's easy to be drawn in by curiosity and click on links without verifying if they lead to an official website. At the same time, in our eagerness to test new features or technological innovations in AI, we often make the mistake of signing up without taking any precautions. Don’t worry—if this has happened to you, you're not alone; we've all made similar mistakes at some point. This short tutorial is simply a reminder of what not to do when trying out an AI.
- If you’re serious about AI and want to explore it safely, consider setting up a local AI model once you gain more experience. Running AI locally not only gives you more control over your data but also ensures greater privacy and security, allowing you to experiment without exposing personal information to external servers.
