I assume anything you post, anywhere, thats not on a piece of notebook paper, is being used to train AI.
Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users

Do you think your input is not being used to train LLMs when posting on Lemmy? It’s publicly visible without an account.
I’d be shocked if there wasn’t either a scraper, or a whole federated instance, that was harvesting lemmy comments for the big ai companies.
The only difference is that no one is trying to make money off providing that content to them. A big part of the reddit exodus was that reddit started charging for api calls to make cash off the AI feeding frenzy, which broke tools the users liked. With lemmy, there’s no need for a rent-seeking middle man.

For sure and it’s frustrating knowing every post I make anywhere is being used to train LLMs generally, but as you mentioned reddit was particularly egregious about it, picked a specific partner(s) for it, and focused on monetizing their users’ content.
