https://youtu.be/Ie6m39oPwpo 🤖🔐 When you use AI, what really happens to the things you type, upload, say, or share? In this Bob The Cyber-Guy tutorial, Bob breaks down one of today’s most important privacy questions in plain, everyday language: the difference between “used by AI” and “used to train AI.” This episode helps average users understand why AI tools can be helpful, why privacy settings matter, and why we should all think twice before uploading sensitive documents, private photos, medical information, financial records, or anything we would not want floating around in the digital soup bowl. 🥣 No panic. No tech jargon. Just practical guidance to help you use AI more wisely and confidently. Written and produced by Norbert (Bob) Gostischa in collaboration with ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and ScreenPal.

Choosing a "Safe" AI

https://youtu.be/gKTH2uW3c-M Choosing an AI tool can feel like walking into a digital candy store where every wrapper says, “Trust me!” But not every AI platform deserves your personal information, your files, or your confidence. In this Bob The Cyber-Guy tutorial, we take a plain-English look at how everyday users can choose a safer AI platform without falling for hype, miracle claims, or privacy traps. You’ll learn what to watch for before signing up, what information you should never share, why privacy settings matter, and why “free” is not always as free as it looks. AI can be helpful, impressive, and sometimes downright amazing — but it should be treated like a helpful stranger, not a locked vault. Stay safe, stay curious, and remember — you’re never too old to outsmart a risky AI tool.
