A lot of EU laws were copy pasted into UK law to expedite Brexit, so it may be that whatever they're blocked by still applies.

- ionwake 2y agoNot sure if there are any policy makers reading this in the UK but if this isnt fixed people like will move to the states. I just don't understand why there just cant be an opt-in.
- crimsoneer 2y agoBut nobody knows what "this" is, which is kind of a problem - Anthropic are releasing models in the UK but not EU, and GPt4 is available in both, so it's not really clear if it's a legal decision or a comms one.
- nindalf 2y agoBrexit was finalised in 2021. AI legislation came into vogue 2023 onwards. If there's UK legislation blocking this, then it's entirely on the UK.
- ben_w 2y agoI vaguely recall people saying that Ireland has a similar issue with the UK, despite gaining independence starting around a century ago. Not being a lawyer, I couldn't possibly comment.
- crimsoneer 2y agoI think highly likely this is just good old GDPR. Specifically, any personal data used to train the model (which would include any person recording on any audio clip or present in any picture) would have to consent for their personal data being used for the purpose of training OpenAI's model, which they pretty emphatically do not.
- ionwake 2y agoWell the. Surely OpenAI just need to make a consent popup for the UK they should do that asap
- crimsoneer 2y agoThe blocker definitely isn't the current users of the application, but all the people involved in the creation of the training data.
- ionwake 2y agoI dont understand what this statement has to do with the conversation regarding releasing a new voice mode over an existing model thats allowed in the UK
- crimsoneer 2y agoHonestly, it's all speculation, but advanced voice mode is probably trained on significantly more audio recording than the previous voice. So maybe it's more likely to be trained on audio clips that include non-consenting participants. But yes, the fact is I can't think of any meaningful reason why UK legislation would impact Advanced Voice but not the previous model releases.
