Training I can understand, but why scanning?
It's literally just running an algorithm over your data and spitting out the results for you. Fundamentally it's no different from spellcheck, or automatically creating a table of contents from header styles.
As long as the results stay private to you (which in this case, they are), I don't see what the concern is. The fact that the algorithm is LLM-based has zero relevance regarding privacy or security.

- JohnFen 2y agoI think that vouaobrasil was talking about scanning on the behalf of others, not scanning that you're doing on your own data. Scanning your own stuff is automatically and naturally an opt-in situation. You've consciously chosen for it to happen.
- crazygringo 2y agoI don't think so -- that's not what the article is about. The subject here is entirely about a product scanning your own document to summarize it for you.
- vouaobrasil 2y ago> It's literally just running an algorithm over your data and spitting out the results for you. I don't want any results from AI. I don't even want to see them. And there is too much of a grey area. What if they use how I use the results to improve their AI. I hate AI also and want nothing to do with its automations. If I want a document summarized, I will read it myself. I still want to be human and do things AT A REASONABLE LEVEL with my own two hands.
- crazygringo 2y agoAgain, that's like saying you don't want any results from spell-check. OK, sure. But then just don't use it. The problem is that you're calling for a legal policy against it to be "mandatory, enforced, and come with strict fines". Have your own personal preferences, that's great. But I don't want you imposing your preferences on the products I use. I want companies and the market to decide. An auto-summary feature that is enabled by default is not something we should be asking for government regulation over, any more than we should be asking the government to prohibit wavy red lines unless they're explicitly opted into.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoI don't want YOUR increasing use of AI to make a world where everyone is forced to use AI in their jobs and lives because it brings short-term business benefits.
