Access to tech is different from handling of personal data though -- the EU GDPR laws around that are clear and fair
People have a right to know where their personal data is going, what is being stored, what it is being used for and should have a mechanism to correct it and delete
The wider challenge is how that is handled in a compliant way with LLMs and generative tools which vendors do not seem to be taking particularly seriously yet

What's the benefit of an LLM that has a large collection of names, addresses, dates of birth etc.?
- tpxl 2y agoFree-form text like Reddit posts contains a whole load of PII. Since there is absolutely no regard for what goes into a LLM, naturally, they also contain this PII.
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoThat's not something that I've encountered on Reddit - I've mostly seen people deliberately not using their real names. If there is indeed a lot of personal identifying information from Europeans on Reddit, then they'd better get ready for a GDPR investigation.
