Artists flee Instagram as Meta trains AI on their public posts, sparking privacy concerns. Europe offers opt-out, but US users have few options.

    This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn’t be posting sensitive stuff to things they don’t control, if at all.

    Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we’re heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

    Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.

      There are many legitimate reasons for people to post content publicly while not wanting it to be stolen by some “AI” scammers.

      I have no issue with privacy, my issue is they’re using my creations and content to train the very thing they want to replace me with.

      I don’t care if it’s a big tech company or some small independent developer, I don’t want my work used to create and train Ai models.
