Other than the already mentioned. You are trusting a bot with your private secrets. It could malfunction and regurgitate your personal information to other people.

What about your psychiatric file, the team might don’t keep everything secret about you ?

That’s true. That would be malpractice and they can get in trouble for that. That doesn’t change the risks of chatbots though.

It’s like reading a book. The dangers of reading a book or journalling ?

It’s more about the dangers of treating AI like a trusted source, when it is not. It cannot think and does not necessarily give correct answers. It has no way of knowing whether it is giving correct answers or not.
