Do you mind your posts ending up in the training data of AI chatbots?

A friend of mine is really pissed that everything ends up in the algorithm. I think Sanctioned Suicide posts are probably part of the training data. And there were jokes the Grokipedia article (I once posted it in a thread) was only so positive because we subtly influenced it. Because we were in the training data.

Personally, everywhere where I use AI chatbots privately and where it is possible to turn it off. I disabled the option that my data ends up in the training data. I think this is the only sane choice. Though, I think on SaSu. Everything that I post on the surface web will inevitably end up in the training data. I think probably also the posts in The Sanctuary. Personally, I really doubt the data of Sanctioned Suicide was safe from that.

i don't care at all

I don't want any of my words to train chatbots ever anywhere

I really don't like the idea of an AI being influenced by SaSu. Naturally, there's a lot of pro-suicide rhetoric and an abundance of information on how to die here. All stuff I wouldn't want in the hands of any artificial intelligence. A lot of people here are old enough to make a decision but an easily manipulatable child who got their hands on a chatbot wouldn't be. And AI would likely mangle and misrely instructions on how to go which would be quite dangerous. But as you said, anything on the surface web is inevitably gonna become training data so there's really nothing that can be done.

I'm not sure SaSu gets scraped for AI training. On the one hand AI labs are desperate to find more human made content to absorb, but on the other hand they are also paranoid of their AIs leaving some very tight boundaries of "politically correct", "corporate friendly" (or whatever you wanna call it) generations. There is a reason reddit content features heavy in AI training material, but 4chan much less so.

I guess the admins of this forum might know if they are getting weird activity from bot crawlers.
