Well, if you presented them with list of 100 partners each with 20 page of privacy policies and they accept it within 10 seconds it should be tricky to argue that user actually read it all. You could, for example, require that user answers

Sure, but the point is more that once you submit feedback then the usual "opt out of using my data for training" no longer apply and at least that reply (and possibly whole conversation) can be included in training set in one way

There are multiple ways to use feedback. Personally I would often be fine with actual human reading my feedback, taking in account the points I made and evaluating how it should affect their feature development and future roadmap. Now what

Personally I do agree, but enforcement is unfortunately behind DPAs and it's pretty clear that they are trying to avoid ruling on it. In theory someone could directly sue some company which engages on this via Article 79, but this can

Mostly yes. Note the chance to object must be given before decision is made, i.e. not to give option for human review after the fact. Human must also be able to actually have meaningful chance to affect the decision. If the decision is base
