Nothing is really preventing this though. AI companies have already proven they will ignore copyright and any other legal nuisance so they can train models.
- lioeters 11mo agoThey're already using synthetic data generated by LLMs to further train LLMs. Of course they will not hesitate to feed "anonymized" data generated by user interactions. Who's going to stop them? Or even prove that it's happening. These companies have already been allowed to violate copyright and privacy on a historic global scale.

- leptons 11mo agoTell that to all the people suing them for using their copyrighted work. In some cases the data was even pirated.
