Slack is now using all content, including DMs, to train LLMs

They offer a thing they’re calling an “opt-out.”

The opt-out (a) is only available to companies who are slack customers, not end users, and (b) doesn’t actually opt-out.

When a company account holder tries to opt-out, Slack says their data will still be used to train LLMs, but the results won’t be shared with other companies.

LOL no. That’s not an opt-out. The way to opt-out is to stop using Slack.

Hackworth,

This is for the best. The future can only be improved by more A.I. being trained on my unique words of wisdom.

haui_lemmy,

Haha. I agree. In your particular case this is great.

Wanangwa_Bamidele,

Yo, just a messenger app but … Why do they need to train LLM anyway

haui_lemmy,

The answer is money. The AI craze lets every person not familiar with LLMs think that its some holy grail.

Also the fact that they have exclusive access to their customers chat data.

That why nobody can have exclusive access to our data except they pay us for it.

Starkstruck,

God I hope the AI bubble pops soon. I’m so fucking sick of it.
