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.

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: 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.
