Opt-Out Only Covers Chat Contents: Dev Flags Unaddressed Data Insight Pathways
logicus · x · 2026-09-13
Developer logicus argues AI providers' opt-out mechanisms only solidly cover literal chat contents, while "various other pathways for extracting insights from opted-out data" remain available and aren't explicitly excluded. He notes OpenAI was asked these questions thousands of times on math day and strategically avoided answering, with essentially no formal response — calling it a huge deal for anyone entrusting data to model providers. A counterparty pointed to Anthropic's Clio (Anthropic Insights) privacy engineering as comparatively ironclad.
