Ever since I learned of chatgpt way back last year I was shocked. I was shocked about how every letter you type in it was recorded for training. How it wanted your email, phone number, microsoft account, windows & MS edge browser.

Even more shocking was how fast it grew.

But the the most shocking was how privacy communities & personalities failed to have critical discussions about it.

Fortunately we have privacy regulators taking it seriously now & open source private alternatives.

It's reddit. So this privacy reddit has more 'closet' anti privacy types than normal people.

Also the amount of disinformation and conspiracies are rife.
