After all the decades of making every network layer secure one by one (even DNS now) people are literally giving a plaintext API to all their secrets and passwords.

Also, there was so much outrage over Microsoft taking screenshots but nothing over this?

… or giving a “useful agent” data they wouldn’t give their friends.

My wife just had ChatGPT make her a pill-taking plan. It did a fantastic job, taking into account meals, diet, sleep, and several pills with different constraints and contraindications. It also found that she was taking her medication incorrectly, which explained some symptoms she’s been having.

I don’t know if it’s the friendly helpful agent tone, but she didnt even question giving over data which in another setting might cause a medical pro to lose their license, if it saved her an hour on a saturday.

People have bought snake oil since the dawn of time. People have blindly followed diet/medical/lifestyle influencers since long before the internet. It's not going away. I'm sure you have seen some plum on the internet say "Let food be thy medicine" before.
