Are you training Meta AI ?

Meta sent notifications about using our data shared on their platforms to train AI. Did you get to the bottom of it ? 💬

As million others, I received their short mail this week end.

To train AI they will "use information shared on Meta’s Products and services". 🤯

What's information ?

"things like posts or photos and their captions."

Hopefully they "do not use the content of your private messages with friends and family to train our AI"

Still, to understand better, I tried to click.

And found pages and pages of explanations.

To be honest quite confusing.

If it's no big deal, why spend so much time telling me everything is fine I shouldn't worry it's all for public benefit and creator empowerment

Concretely no mention of what could be the risks, if any, of letting the AI train on this type of data.

No examples.

Honestly, I feel pretty positive about what Meta is doing with their Llama and recent position on open research. 

This is a missed opportunity.  To get clear about potential implications. 

On my end, I removed from my accounts photos that were including people.

I didn't understand if people faces and names could be associated or not. So, it's a no go.

And otherwise, I made my Insta account private, FB was already friends only, but that's basic privacy, good also for the rest. 🔐

Not sure it makes a lot of sense.

What did you do ? 🤔
