It doesn’t matter what it’s being used for, you post publicly it can be used publicly whether that’s for a news article or to train the next ChatGPT.
Comment on Meta admits that it trains its AI on your Instagram and Facebook posts
GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year agoPeople have been using Facebook for about 15 years now. Of course nobody imagined their posts would be used to train AI at that point. The general population had no idea that was possible until ChatGPT was released last year, if even.

Yes - I would be concerned if they were training it off of messages or DMs as those have some expectation of privacy. Which … they probably are but have fun sorting through years of memes.

It’s not about AI specifically. It’s about the awareness that, as soon as you post it to social media, your personal information is not under your control anymore. There was and is still a good reason why you should not post personal info on the internet, even on seemingly “safe” spaces like social media pages.
But people in general don’t care anyway and they won’t care about this headline too.
