Apus:
Interesting. Didn't know China and Russia are developing nations. Tell me something else I don't know.

No wonder Nigeria is a country with no foreign policy or direction; anything goes.

casualobserver:
Personally left to me I will ban anything American in Nigeria!

Nothing good ever comes out of America.

lathrowinger:
What could be the reason of banning it. Or is there something we needs to know?

descarado:
Its not only chatgbt that we have in this world.

I dont even use it. Has very scanty info.

If you expand your research work on what you get from chatgbt, you may end up with an average mark. I prefer deepseek and it's owned by china. Who uses chatgbt when there is deepseek?
Because it's from America?

bahdpersona:
All those countries have one thing in common; their leaders want absolute control of their citizens.

NwaIgboBoy:
Those countries believe that America, who is the main developer of this ChartGPT could be spying on them. If you checked those listed countries they aren't strong allies with USA.

However, here in Nigeria we accept anything we see, our government may not have any business regulating any $hit as long as it doesn't affect their chain of looting our treasure, it's fine with them

Mirasteel:
You better learn, most of you all are blind, when you are being advised you all feel someone is wrong, you better learn.

Next time, when a discuss is beyond your range, just keep quiet or move along.

TheBizGenius:
Ouch!

I question how people are no longer civil in discussions and relationships these days. Am I the one that has become old school or there is a new "normal" that I am unaware of?

Like I usually tell people around me, you have a right to activism (external) but ask yourself first if you have done civism (internal).

I just tire for the whole generation.

DeOTR:
You can't even use ChatGPT in my company without getting fired the next hour and it's an American organization.

Konquest:
You've brilliantly stated the FACTS with the reference to "external activism and internal civism." The red flags (a total lack of online civility and impulsiveness or knee-jerk responses on the parts of these youngsters) are usually there for all to see and I just use dialectics to simply thrust their infractions right back at them to see their errors before sending them behind the curtain where they truly belong.

TheBizGenius:
I applaud your actions, and your use of English.

It's simply refreshing to finally be validated that I am not alone.

Thank you. And I sincerely mean it.

Konquest:
Whoa! That's interesting. Based off of these insights here, your American workplace MUST be a very security-sensitive zone.

Every company management indeed has the prerogative to do what is best for their long-term survival and even though I use CGPT among others on the personal level, I'm gonna start focusing on ensuring that these AI tools do NOT cause any negatives in my firms' operations from here on out.

Yes many apps collect information without your knowledge.

Even when you disable certain features or you specifically request them not to.

This is common knowledge. There have been many lawsuits.

This is why I cry for for Nigerians who support the tech companies when Nigeria tries to clamp down on them.

Cromagnon:

You have it the info
You signed contract
So it's not without your knowledge





Read your user contract

had govt ever done anything well?
Of you don't like a software then don't use it or make your own that doesn't track anything

casualobserver:
That’s actually wrong. I know what I wrote. Many companies have been fined for harvesting data without user consent. I:e even when you opt out!

Cromagnon:
What kind of data
Did you not provide the data yourself to them?
What did you think would happen?
They should close their eyes ba
Get real

Unless you go live alone in the forest other's will always have aves to certain information about you.

You may not greet anyone in your hood but they will know when you leave and come home
They will know which car you drive or do not
Of women come to visit they will see them

Same digitally

casualobserver:
All apps steal info especially if they are “free”.

AI is premised on the warehousing (stealing) of people’s info.

The government of the country that’s hosts the app will always get your info from the company if they want it. Whether China, USA or Russia.

The solution to disable as much as you can disable on your devices and use as few smart devices and apps as you can and stop downloading unnecessary apps on to your devices.


For instance I have a smart Tv I don’t use the smart features. I don’t plug it to the internet. I don’t use certain apps like Facebook/ instagram on my smartphone so it doesn’t track me. I disable certain features on WhatsApp, google etc. e.g location services etc.

Many people have google maps not knowing google maps knows every where they have been and is tracking you even when you aren’t using it.


Most people who use devices like smart TVs did not read the user disclaimer. It gives them permission to record you via your TV.

Oga I don’t have time to argue with you. This is a topic of last week that I have parked. if you like think a company whose business model is to sell your data will not cheat. What you see you see!

TikTok, Meta, Uber, Google have all been found guilty of breaching user data even after the users opted out of data collection or turned off certain features.

Please don’t respond to me directly or I will block yOu. Not interested in anything you have to say.

The irony is even the ad blockers and VPN too harvest your data illegally.
