What's inside

  1. 01
    What AI actually does with what you paste
    When you paste something into a free or public AI tool, it can be stored, reviewed by humans, and used to train future models. Even when companies say "we don't train on your data," that often only applies to their paid enterprise tier — not the free one your team probably uses.

  2. 02
    The 4 things you should never paste
    Four categories of data should never go into a public AI tool, even the paid version of your personal account. If you have to put one of these into AI, use the **company-approved enterprise tool only**.

    Spotting AI-powered phishing
    The old phishing tells — typos, weird grammar, generic greetings — are dead. AI-written phishing is fluent, personalized, and often references real details about you scraped from LinkedIn. The new tells are about **context** and **urgency**, not language.

    Treating AI like a confident intern
    AI tools sound confident even when they're wrong. The mistake isn't using them — it's trusting the output without checking. Treat AI like a very fast, very confident intern: incredibly useful, but you wouldn't ship its work without reviewing it first.
