AI assistants are the archnemesis
of data privacy.

Because AI models are inherent
data collectors.

They rely on large data collection for training, improvement, operation, and customization.

More often than not, this data is collected without clear and informed consent (from unknowing training subjects or from platform users). This data is then sent to and accessed by a private company with many incentives to share and monetize this data.

By using these platforms, we are encouraging them to collect even more nonconsensual data on everyone. This is an important social responsibility to consider. Choose carefully.

@Em0nM4stodon I've read that in an Ars Technica post, this quote was from a privacy expert referred to as em 💡.

@Em0nM4stodon Once it is in the model you don't get to remove it either. You might be ok with Facebook hovering up your data and your family's data now, but when your spouse dies in the future all their data is still in the models. Other people can "resurrect" them, or at least aspects of them.

@Em0nM4stodon When Google Android uploads your nude pictures to the cloud it also trains on them. You can ask Google to remove them from the cloud, which they may do, but they are never removing them from the model. They don't know how to remove a single picture without rewinding the whole model back to the last version before it was added. And they aren't going to wind back months or years of training data for your single photo.

@chrisp @Em0nM4stodon Yeah, really glad I put the brakes on Google Photos. No more phone backups, all 20 years of shots moved to an encrypted, privacy focused app (Ente.io), then those same pics deleted from Google (trash too!).

@cyberlyra Do you think there is any way to do something about this? That one can assist without having to have _all_ the data? What level of data would be potentially acceptable?

@Em0nM4stodon They also just plain don't work as advertised to improve speed nor efficiency at any of what are deemed "their main tasks" unless you have a very simple set of directives or overly simplify them for said machine's needs, as on every one I've ever tried their basic coding is pretty blatant & if you wont or cant adapt to it, it wont work at all, which makes it so that in 2 ways, you are working for said machine sets, instead of them working for you, which is backwards, both for #Accessibility in terms of disabled people who need help & ableds who need the better setups only other people can provide. #AI
