If you aren’t paying cash, you pay with your privacy. If you are paying, enable privacy features (no improving their service, no blackbox memories). They are also subject to GDPR and similar, so make use of your legal rights, if you have any. Or … shock, horror … don’t use them at all.

I don’t use ChatGPT anymore as I’ve switched to another model but back when I did this wasn’t something they were secretly doing. It’s a feature. You can read the memories it has saved, delete the ones you don’t want it to store and IIRC it can also be turned off.

It’s no big deal, since we’re not on the verge of a fascist dictatorship, I’m sure nobody will use it for repressive purposes; it’s just a bit of personalized advertising, nothing important.

I want the personalization…without Brother Brother. My personal and local AI, should work solely for my interests. I have been using my local AI for creating an customized cookbook, making save editors, and right now, an restoration mod. Never before have I had so much agency in my life. AI has great potential for self actualization, but corporations and government will be working to undermine it. Hopefully, everyday people will recognize that and make local AI the norm.

That’s the real danger with LLM-AIs IMO, not the RAM price or energy consumption. Mass control.

Funny that article is in futurism.com that is jam packed of tracking cookies and fingerprinting.

For now, I can avoid AI because it’s easy to spot. Even product website AI chatbots are poor imitations of people. (Honestly, the mental acrobatics people must go through to talk to one of these things as a trusted advisor baffles me. It’s a fucking machine, you’re talking to a box, a piece of software. Stop anthropomorphizing the damn things. But, maybe that’s just me.) In the near future I expect for anything important to me (namely, doctors, lawyers, friends, advisors), I’ll only trust face to face conversations--but then, no more so than I ever have. Because, they won’t perfect androids in my lifetime. The threat is that for paid positions, like doctors, etc., the option for face to face may become too expensive for anyone but the rich. Because, you know the rich won’t take digital advice. Hell, they’re trying to replace teachers in public schools with machines, right now. The rich never let their kids have phones when they’re young. Or, at least not the parents who give a fuck about their kids, which seems not many filthy rich do. Let alone will they let some machine teach them in school.
