"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
So why the fuck am I receiving a privacy policy message in my email.
This is addressed to my old gmail account which has never been authenticated with OpenAI or ChatGPT. I've confirmed this by looking at my authenticated third party apps.
What are they doing here and how did they get my real name associated with my email address.
No account exists as far as I can tell. Attempting to sign in with my email address takes me to an account creation page.
This makes the identity theft scenario unlikely to me. Good thing to test though, thanks.
This does make the whole thing even more weird though as I why would I need to know about a privacy policy change if I never had an agreement with them to begin with.
In case you didn't know, you're automatically giving access of your account's contents to Google's LLM for "training purposes". If you didn't opt out of that, you're being affected by this privacy policy change.
Google's LLM is Gemini, not ChatGPT, and they have no business contracts with OpenAI.
My bad.
