Is "model improvements off" really opt-out? Developer flags opaque data-training wording at frontier labs
erikphoel · x · 2026-10-22
Developer erikphoel flags extremely opaque wording in frontier AI companies' terms: with "model improvements" turned off, your data supposedly isn't trained on directly, but it may still be used after being transformed into summaries or rewrites. He notes no one seems to have directly addressed this and asks whether any frontier company has actually denied it, while acknowledging it could sound conspiratorial.
