Social media experts are warning users to think twice before using AI platform, ChatGPT when creating a caricature of themselves based on what it already knows about them.

The rise of AI-generated caricatures has quickly turned into a social media phenomenon, with users eagerly uploading photos and personal details to see stylized versions of themselves.

Experts warn that repeatedly submitting images and personal context may result in users becoming desensitized to the risks of disclosing sensitive information, and what AI platforms choose to do with the data provided to them.
