I hold both camps equally in low regard. Depending on the time of day this blog is hyper focused on either one of the companies and can do no wrong. All LLM companies and associated entities have a track record of fudging the truth to their needs and following big money without actual concern for the wider world. Whether this is out of directed act or misplaced idealism is up for debate.

My response was not targeted towards Open-AI but towards all closed-source AI companies where your data is used for training and/or is visible to the internal agents whether you want it to or not.

I think it is fair to expect the companies to stick by their demarcation

API / enterprise subs tier is default opt out of training. Personal subsidized tier is default opt in with the option to to opt out.

I don't see a grand conspiracy beyond this.

The Chief Research Office at Open AI just put out this tweet- https://x.com/markchen90/status/2097400166554993041?s=20

Seems it doesn't matter if you opt out or in.. your data will be used for training

Clearly not what he was saying
