Large language models such as GPT-4 were able to identify people’s personal information by analysing their posts on social media

Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 can identify a person’s age, location, gender and income with up to 85 per cent accuracy simply by analysing their posts on social media.

But the AIs also picked up on subtler cues, like location-specific slang, and could estimate a salary range from a user’s profession and location.

    Same. I’m sure I’ve posted about my location, my job, my race, my history, my real first name, general details of my family makeup etc. I also have a pretty unique name so searching just my first and last name will find stuff about me anyway. I’m even listed by name in books (I was young and dumb and answered some questions about work life).
