The article title makes it seem like they are using your files to train AI which no proof exists for that(yet)
Thank you for the service!
I see your point re training, but aint the entire point why they want peasants using their models is to train them more?
Generative AI doesn't get any training in use. The explosion in public AI offerings falls into three categories:
To make a good model you need two things:
User data might meet need 2, but it fails at need 1. Running random data through neural networks to make it more exploitable (more accurate interest extraction, etc) makes sense, but training on that data doesn't.
This is clearly demonstrated by Google's search AI, which learned lots of useful info from Reddit but also learned absurd lies with the same weight. Not just overtuned-for-confidence lies, straight up glue-the-cheese-on lies.
Thank you for explaining this.
