Joaquín BaldwinMeta/Facebook/Threads/Instagram is now using your content for generative AI. There is a form to opt out, although I don't know if it'll make a difference, but here it is: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1266025207620918
Eshu Marneedi@joabaldwin It won’t make a difference. All of your content, even on Mastodon, is being crawled by OpenAI’s bots daily and there’s no way to stop that from happening. Google too. If you make anything in the internet, an LLM is reading it and using it as training data. Don’t like that? Too bad, even the New York Times isn’t immune to it. This form doesn’t matter, no form matters. OpenAI customer or not, Facebook customer or not, it doesn’t matter. Your content is being used.
Delta Wye@EshuMarneedi @joabaldwin Some serious realpolitik to consider here. These systems go everywhere and answer to nobody.
I don’t think there’s any way to take a generated item and rewind it back to prove the source material. Like converting a cookie back into the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate.
Plus, people will just outright steal what people make. I wouldn’t be surprised if people’s art and turns up used commercially somewhere in the world.
@EshuMarneedi I know that, we are beyond that threshold. But at least it gives us a glimpse into what the other social media companies are doing behind our backs.
