I Opted Out of AI Training. Does This Reduce My Future Influence?
1 min read
Summary
A trend of users opting out of their data being used to train AI models is developing, for fear of missing the influence of their individual voices and perspectives.
Currently, users have to opt out of such practices, with Silicon Valley startups scraping data from various sources to use in their models.
The current opt-out processes are largely futile, with any data posted online likely to have already been used in several generative models.
However, it is unlikely that an individual’s data will be a significant determinant in the creation of a model, which will more likely be influenced by synthetic data created by the models themselves.
The value of individual perspectives lies more in the inspiration they can bring to synthetically created data, which will always be influenced by human presence to some degree.
