5 ChatGPT plugins to avoid

Since the introduction of ChatGPT plugins, users have had access to a variety of tools to enhance their experience. While some plugins, like the Spotify plugin for custom playlists and web page summarization tools, have been well-received, others have fallen short. The ChatWithVideo plugin struggles with long videos and outdated data, Algorithma feels more like a simplistic game than advanced intelligence, and RoboAd fails to deliver compelling ad copy. The Ambition plugin, which pulls job listings, also lacks the comprehensiveness of popular job search engines. Overall, while some plugins offer valuable features, others may not meet user expectations.

PortfolioPilot

PortfolioPilot compiles information about specific stocks and economic trends, raising concerns due to ChatGPT’s potential inaccuracies and hallucinations. The major red flag is that it offers “actionable recommendations on how to improve your portfolio” and can automatically make changes based on your risk profile if you share your portfolio with it.

Sharing personal or sensitive information with ChatGPT poses risks, as a bug once exposed user payment details. Additionally, unless you opt out, your data is used to enhance the model. Therefore, entrusting your investment portfolio to a plugin utilizing ChatGPT’s vast language model may not be advisable.
