It's a bit of a bait and switch (obviously not literally, these things didn't exist so nobody was ever promised they wouldn't be used). But in terms of user behavior, it's rather the same. I used to make more stuff publicly available online than I do now, and the mass-scale surveillance and data modeling that big companies do off of publicly available stuff is a big part of that. Generally that's how you get walled gardens - by abusing the commons - but here you'd need not just a walled garden but a TINY TINY invitation only one if you don't want people doing mass surveillance and data modeling (CoPilot is really more of the latter than the former, but any of this "scrape the whole internet" stuff is just a tiny little sidestep away from being used for more blatantly evil surveillance purposes - here we're training a generative model, they're we're de-annonymizing everything you've written anywhere...). Is there a good solution to "BigCos are gonna do whatever they want with the shit you make" other than invite-only, paid-content type models?
