Microsoft Is Spying on Users of Its AI Tools

seeing as copilot says at the start of every conversation that it will be recorded, not to mention their massive (non)privacy policy and terms of use, this isn't really news. this is just a fact

alternate headline: company looks at data they tell you they will monitor

The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.

Well there's your problem.

Lol that wasn't just expected. That was obvious

microshit is also spying on users who don't use its AI tools

Um, no shit?
Seriously, Microsoft is running offering a service, for free, which uses considerable amounts of processing power. And people didn't think that everything they typed in was being logged, catalog, dissected and used for any possible purpose to make money?

It would have been bizarre if they weren't.

I was expecting something a bit more substantial than the equivalent of a tweet.

Last 4 words of that headline are a bit redundant

And in other obvious news, earth is getting hot and sun is yellow to deep orange. Back to you Diane.

8^O

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Water still gets people wet, scientists baffled.

Nearly every single major tech company will monitor and record every single interaction you have with any of their services and products now. Just do a Google data takeout and see just what kind of data they keep on you.

This is the norm now and everyone should be aware of this and expect it and more of it.

At least local LLMs are getting better

Is it really spying at this point? I feel like everyone knows big tech is going to exploit your data as much as they can.

d'oh!

Also, everyone else

Waiting on our useless government to regulate privacy rights

Say it ain't so

Say on god
