I think you're mixing up two different arguments. One is about whether it's unwise to believe tech companies when they say "unlimited". I would agree it's unwise to believe them, because I have insider knowledge (th

> can I stop an LLM from training itself on my data? This should be possible and Perplexity should absolutely make it easy to block them from training. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but why? And what do you mean by “your data” here?
