The big idea
You vent to ChatGPT about a friend — then a sibling, partner, or someone over your shoulder screenshots it. Chatbot conversations leak the same way texts do.
Some examples
- Your sister grabbed your phone and screenshot your vent.
- A shared family iCloud means your chats sync to other devices.
- Group screenshots travel through GroupMe in seconds.
- Once it leaves your device, you can't unscreenshot it.
