upload not working the way I understand it to work

I have two files with the given content:

one.pdf .. the book jane eyre two.pdf .. the book adam bede

I go to https://duck.ai/chat and press the paperclip icon to upload a file. I upload one.pdf. I ask the AI to analyse it. It says it's jane eyre. This is correct.

On my disk, I rename one.pdf to one.old.pdf and rename two.pdf to one.pdf. I then ask the AI to reanalyse the file. It says its adam bede, which one.pdf now is, so that's correct too.

Under my understanding, if I upload something using HTML, it's uploaded. What I'm seeing above is the AI dynamically reaching into my hard drive and reading the current file. Note: I never uploaded a file containing adam bede, nor did I consent for it to be read by the AI.

What is going on there?

Hi,

What you describe doesn't sound possible unless you use a dedicated desktop app.

What OS and browser do you use? What are their versions?

I assure you that is what happened and I tested it twice.

It shouldn't matter what browser etc I used, but:

Windows 10. The tor browser.

When asked, the AI said it was accessing the file using a "handle" it had been passed by the environment it was running in. That was all that it knew.

I would ask someone to try it to verify.

As far as I understand it, this should not be possible.
