ChatGPT can access your bank accounts now. Here's why I'm not ready

ChatGPT Pro users can now connect banking and investment accounts from over 12,000 financial institutions through Plaid integration for personalized financial insights. PCWorld highlights that while the feature offers read-only access and 30-day data deletion, it raises significant privacy and security concerns for users. The AI-powered dashboard provides financial summaries and answers queries, but users must weigh convenience against potential data risks. If there's one area where LLMs excel, it's plowing through reams of data and teasing out patterns, trends, and insights. So it's not surprising that OpenAI is zeroing in on personal finance, with ChatGPT now capable of delving into our banking, checking, and investment accounts .
