While this general story has its shape. The line at the end here…
AI is stealing human discovery.
Is striking in just how obviously true it’s been the whole time. It’s the business model, plain and simple.
I hope this story highlights this better for some. But also, it’s frustrating that any of this is new or surprising to anyone.
Do people consider conversations with LLMs private? I don’t think there is actual guarantee which protects the conversations. …are people that naive?
Yep.
The era of Google and big social media did real harm IMO. I suspect we used to have more scepticism around this sort of thing (dunno though). But getting addicted to things sure as hell is a good way to get you to ignore their problems.
The era of desktop computing really is gross in so many ways once you take a step back.

It’s one thing to notice OpenAI is stealing public content, but in this case it’s suspected of using info that people prompted ChatGPT with privately.
