Wordpress and Docusign of all businesses are now in the AI training hype train.

Because there's nothing companies love more than torching their own good reputations for a bit of short term profit* at the expense of society!

I can understand Wordpress doing it, but DOCUSIGN??? I'm not a federal judge or anything but I would immediately stop using their service for anything, sending stuff through the service is already a little sketchy, but I'm not going to give away my precious, precious boilerplate.
