Most comments here seem to be missing the legal conundrum that European countries, especially Germany find themselves in. Germany and to some extend the EU guarantees the “right to be forgotten”, ie. You can request that a company deletes all data tied to your person. However, with LLMs this is technically simply not possible. While that particular issue hasn’t come up in court yet, this is where that whole ill-advised ban is heading. I for one support the right to be forgotten, but not at the cost of shutting down innovation. We need a “do not encode” flag on content similar to a “do not track” header. Not all companies will respect that, but it might pave the way for AI companies to work with strict EU privacy laws.
