    Meh. If you’re using any platform for free, assume what you say will be used for monetization.

    If you’re using Tumblr/WordPress.com… chances are your content is public anyways.

      But both these sites HEAVILY predate AI or LLMs. Which then raises the question, how robust is their ToU & ToS from 2009? Can a corpo lawyer convincingly argue the limits of ‘legitimate use’ as completely unlimited?

    As a former user this kinda makes me feel weirdly proud. Like I knew the whole time I was releasing the text for free to everyone, I’m not pissed about this getting monetized any more than I was pissed about the ads on Tumblr and (free) WordPress sites.

    But to whatever extent my personality came out through my text, I pushed to whatever small degree the subsequent LLMs to respond like me. I’m one small part of the AI just like I am one small part of humanity, but it’s not nothing.

    AI programmed using Reddit, Tumblr and WordPress data - along with Facebook and all the other social media sources… Skippy’s attitude makes a lot of sense.
