ChatGPT Is Not a Replacement for Experts: ChatGPT can be useful for research, explanations, coding and drafting. However, a September 2026 Engadget report highlights five areas where relying on an AI chatbot can create significant risks. These include legal advice, therapy, medical guidance, confidential workplace information and sensitive passwords or account details.

Avoid Using ChatGPT for Legal Advice: ChatGPT should not replace a qualified lawyer when dealing with a personal legal dispute. The report cites more than 2,000 court decisions worldwide involving AI-generated citations, quotes or arguments. ChatGPT conversations also do not carry the same legal privilege as communications with an attorney.

ChatGPT Should Not Replace a Therapist: Using ChatGPT as a therapist can create problems when conversations involve serious mental health concerns. The report notes that researchers have found chatbots can reinforce a user’s existing beliefs in some situations. Professional mental health support remains important for complex or urgent personal concerns.

Do Not Rely on ChatGPT for Medical Advice: ChatGPT can explain general health concepts, but it should not replace medical professionals for diagnosis or treatment decisions. The report highlights concerns around health information shared with AI systems and cites research showing that safeguards can vary across different medical conditions.

Keep Confidential Work Information Away: Employees should avoid pasting confidential company material into personal AI chatbots. The report highlights cases involving sensitive government documents and internal corporate code. Information covered by company rules, client agreements or non-disclosure agreements can create serious problems when transferred to external AI services.

Never Enter Passwords or ID Details: Passwords, one-time login codes, passport numbers, bank details, card information and identity documents should not be entered into ChatGPT. The report also notes that shared ChatGPT conversations were previously found in Google search results before OpenAI removed that sharing feature.

Use ChatGPT Carefully, Not Blindly: ChatGPT can still support everyday research, writing, coding and learning. The key is knowing when an AI response needs independent verification or professional expertise. Sensitive personal information, confidential documents and high-stakes decisions require greater caution than ordinary questions about general topics.
