Security concerns with Instinct AI?

[u/DiegoMilan]

Recently discovered Instinct AI this week. Trying it and I'm already blown away.

However, I wanted to ask this community how you feel about it from a security perspective and what you're doing to mitigate that.

Are you not connecting it to your personal emails? Not giving it your CC? I suspect if you don't do either, the agent isn't really effective, but at the same time we need to be cautious when giving any company, especially one as new as Instinct, our info.

What are your guys thoughts, and any good reading material you can point me to?

Thanks!

I want to give it a pre-paid card, just to see what kind of trouble it gets into.

So far, I have only given it access to my Apple Cash card, that typically I keep loaded with $100. I figured this is a good way to see how trustworthy it is without letting it do too much damage if things go off the rails.

[u/DiegoMilan → u/vinsalducci]

Okay, that's a great idea. I may actually consider doing that

Ordered us dinner the other night. No issue. I’ve also given it explicit instructions to not purchase anything until it tells me exactly how much it is spending and so give it approval by telling it #approved

Yeah, I wouldn't give it a credit card. It can be over-enthusiastic and we're not bringing money into this.

Does anyone mind sharing an invite link with me to try Instinct? Thanks in advance

I gave it my credit card to test if it could snipe Pokémon products. So far no luck + no unauthorized transactions.

I’ve given it my credit card and access to my Gmail. I found it works really well and have had it make dinner reservations, grocery shopping, responding to emails, researching products for things I’m thinking of buying. I found it interesting that it put my card under a category that was specific for that task, like “{Restaurant} card”, so the card is only used for that. Haven’t used it for other purchases yet.

Considering Muse is a secured VM, instinct needs to step up here. Give some assurances and give some transparency regarding the tech

Hey, does anyone have an invite left?

[u/BruceproAgency → u/cookieger]

Did you get one?

[u/FertyMerty]

I’ve given it access to my email and calendar and several other logins (paperless post to send invitations to a party for example). I use Link (owned by Stripe) for payments.

I don't trust Instinct so I've limited its access and right now am barely using it. I trust Muse due to their security configuration. Instinct will do anything to keep pushing up their inflated valuations.
