I tried to ask ChatGPT for information about a private GitHub repository of mine. To my amazement, ChatGPT was able to tell me about the repository perfectly well, with all the details. What is concerning is that it is able to access a private GitHub repository, which shouldn't happen, as it might be looked at as a breach of privacy.
#ChatGPT is able to access private GitHub repositories!

It can't access the net, my guess is you were talking to it about your git repo or projects you were working on and then it inferred the contents based on that, it is spooky good at it

are you sure that at the time of training (prior to Sep 2021) your repo was not public?

Well, not really. This was the first time that I ever spoke to it about the repo. Never brought it up before, as the repo is fairly dormant and hasn't been updated in a long while!

The repo was created in Feb 2022 🙂

I bet I can guess the contents of your repo by the name of it 🙂 GPT can too

I understand that it is very common for generative models to have such creative fabrications from time-to-time. But the details were scarily accurate!

Yes that's true! But we can't guess the tech stack from the name of the repo, can we?

make a repo called baby cats and fill it full of code to generate circles
ask whats in side and it will say cat software

sure, GPT han seem a billion stacks of all kinds of names and will have found commonalities
if you have a repo called Python Dev Libs it will super accuracy guess you have the top 15 python libs in there

Well yeah, but the names aren't that generic in a lot of cases.
But I get your point! Thanks for the insight!

there will still be influences, your brain picks up influences from the stack exchange posts your read, the reddit posts you've gone through , it has too, you have a neural net and so does it, it thinks very much like we do now, so.... it will run a probabilities game and guess the most likely set of words to match your query given the context... this thing could make a mint doing cold readings for Fortune Tellers
