These tools are experimental and may produce false, misleading, or harmful content. They should never be relied upon as a replacement for professional advice in any field. It is also important to note that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly stated that ChatGPT conversations can be subpoenaed, meaning they are not legally confidential or privileged in the way communications with doctors, lawyers, or therapists might be (Altman, 2025, This Past Weekend with Theo Von podcast, cited in Perez, 2025, TechCrunch). Viewers should avoid sharing sensitive or private information with AI tools. This channel reflects my own learning path, my intent is to exchange reflections, not to provide direction
