Dropbox and OpenAI

There's a lot of stir over Mastodon because someone has discovered that everyone, even paying customers, are being opt-in for a partnership with OpenAI in their Dropbox account.

Just... imagine, all your important documents, you share for your work, personal information, everything you put on your personal cloud, syphoned into OpenAI's servers without even a warning. It is only when it has started to make the rounds on social media that we have some news about it.

While I think that AI should be geared towards doing the menial, repetetitive jobs and free humanity from doing the 9 to 5, it is in the hands of companies and billionaires. And if they want to create a tool to create "art" with a prompt, okay.

But they way they so *desperately steal* anything on the Internet to feed their models is simply something that should not be tolerated. But alas, our governments and law systems are way slower than our technology evolves.

No wonder why nowadays AI makes everyone's feathers ruffle. I just hope that the hype turns into a general backlash soon.

This article is quite clickbaity and tries to imply that OpenAI is using the private content in the public knowledge base which is clearly not the case and is explained in the first paragraph correctly.
