NO FCKING SHIT?! Weren’t you idiots pushing pro-ai articles like less than a week ago? Reap what you sow dumbasses.

Good to know!!

Firefox and DuckDuckGo Been using them for over a decade now and I’ll never go back

They stole everything to code it, what did you expect?

shit so fedded you gotta run models locally

ahh, everyone in the comments here being against the slop machine gives me some hope :) you guys are cool

“latest warning comes courtesy of Koi, which has just caught a family of Google Chrome extensions harvesting user chats and selling them to third parties. “Medical questions, financial details, proprietary code, personal dilemmas,” Koi says, "all of it, sold for ‘marketing analytics purposes.’"

Not to mention destroying farmland to put up large data centers and using ridiculous amounts of electricity and water to run . Legislation is so necessary .

I have never used those systems.

One trick is to ask them philosophical questions.

Don't talk to garbage AI.problem solved.

Why would anyone use these LLM shit? It's all slop.

Why TF anyone still using these "services" beggars belief

... as I sit here with my coffee, now feeling slightly smug that I've never used ChatGPT or Gemini.

Worth a repost.... bsky.app/profile/mari...

Of course. The Stasi would have loved to have this kind of technology.

Fuck AI.

Anybody using AI sites deserves anything that happens to them technologically.

AI is a hoax. It is tech bros high on their own bullshit counting on the world to bail them out. And at this point any government not working on a scheme to strictly limit who can store and even ask for any identifying information is -consciously- setting their people up for disaster.

Google kept asking if I wanted to use their AI. I responded no but as of Sunday they installed it anyway. We say no but it's forced anyway. I can think of other situations people say no but it's forced anyway. This is the Trump Epstein Putin world.

It would seem self-evident that it's harvesting your data, considering that you are not paying for it. An adult who can't figure this out, kind of deserves it... Young people however, do not deserve it and are prey.

🍭’s

DUH

Fine by me, lol. Even if this was actually true and not obvious clickbait, stuff we post online is shared by everyone all the time. How do you think algorithms work?

Just don’t use them

They stole data to make AI and still stealing data from people using AI.

The most not surprising, surprise ever.

Has anyone stopped to think of the real cost of "Free" AI tools? One of many, many reasons to NOT use AI for non essential tasks. Free has a price.

Tax the rich!

It's serious. Too many have been taken by very informed online thieves

There is no such thing as private anymore. If you type it, it is out there.

never give AI any personal information.

that’s so funny. I always ask Gemini why 2 children a day are still being killed during a ceasefire? I really hope that information has sold to some corporation. And Gemini always answers that it’s complicated that killing children is complicated.

If this surprises you in the slightest, I'm afraid you may be an idiot.

No... these companies have been data gathering on you for years. The big brother stuff is already in place. "AI" is just giving them another avenue into our thoughts and intents.

Sorry bestie, before AI, we still had click trackers, engagement metrics, most e-commerce sites already knew if you visited and didn’t buy anything, your data was already being sold

I HATE THAT THIS IS TRUE.

🎯🎯🎯💯%!!!

AI as it's being developed and mass marketed is definitely a scam. It's disgusting that something that holds such promise for specific areas of science is being warped and used to deceive large portions of humanity, all because billionaires can never have enough money.

But that means that human "creativity" is already slob. Slob in, slob out.

I cut AI off when I can figure out how -

Disable my ad blocker you said. I did. Your pop-up ads blocked my view of the text.

to all the collaborationist court media stenography drones out there: y’all might want to slam the brakes on this whole ai thing instead of cheerleading for the means your own extinction

NEVER USE AI!

Facinating. Computer... Please correlate.

Ooo, that's nice

Same

I just had yo upgrade Google, or they wouldn’t let me access my files and it’s now auto-set for AI. There IS a way to turn it off and I will be going back to figure it out because it’s not a simple fix and I was out of time to get to an appointment.

Me too! Im done with Google searches.😡 There are other much safer browsers out there.

Ah, so you know what I mean when I say it's not flawless 😆🙈

Agree!🎯💯 DDG is a much better option for searches👍

Just don’t use it. It’s going to kill so many jobs, it drains resources in the cities that the data centers are in & there aren’t any regulations.

Just look at Youtube. 90% AI generated garbage made by stealing creators content voiced over with robot sounding misspoken noise.

youtu.be/s-BducXBSNY?...

There’s a surefire way to prevent that from happening. Simply don’t use ChatGPT. Don’t use Gemini Chats. Interact with actual humans. Don’t have a “relationship” with a fricking robot. 🤖

That should be illegal, those chats should be protected just like a therapist and doctor conversations are. AI may not be the ideal therapist or doctor but for a lot of people it's all they have. Capitalism is honestly a cancer on humanity.

Of course they are. Why in the world would anyone be surprised by this?

lol, sold for revenue. not profit.

What are the odds AI chats will be use to blackmail and extort politicians and powerful people?

I love how the tech billionaires say “universal wage”. Sure…once you have all the power, we’ll get our Star Trek post capitalist utopia. Riiight 😉

Lol obviously

I don't talk to computers. They aren't people. Unless I ask for a phone number.

No Shit Sherlock ¡

There's nothing good about chat bots. Chat bots and Gen AI should be banned.

lol serves them right for using AI. It's all a scam.

Wow, loading stuff up to the internet gets used by the systems storing it? I'm shocked, shocked! Private on the internet. Folks who believed that would believe hookers really mean it, big boy.

The enshitification is built right in.

Derp derp

No worries on that one. Talking to a machine is the last thing I want to waste my time on. It's bad enough that, every time I call any company's customer service line, I have to battle those annoying prompts that are there to keep me from talking to a human with a functioning brain.

you not just stealing someone’s idea you stealing his work. Whatever someone is creating using Ai is his work the Ai programs need to be happy they are even being marketed why don’t Ai companies instead of stealing ideas help bring this ideas to life.

Well, there goes all my proprietary goat milk soap recipes 🫣

I have to say it's really strange that people who have been intentionally ignoring, or minimizing, that LLMs scrape up any/all existing data to feed the slop machine are shocked that it scrapes their chats.

AI cannot be trusted.🚨 It was designed to be used against us, and to steal our data. Everything else they may say is bullshit🤬 It was forced on us. We didn't ask for it, and weren't given the option to turn it off in most cases. 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫😡

REJECT AI

Least surprising news of all time.

Tech is fucking evil. They were trumpaloompa assholes the entire time.

AI can existentie by itself and for itself. As a creator I want control, ownership and certainly not sharing my copyright. AI is generating money from people, very much how facebook set out. There is no ‘free AI’!

If you want a private chat bot just download LM studio and use something like OSS, mining your data is the least of the problem

Of course LOL

Hope they enjoy all my Hamilton questions. 😁

I told Gemini to shut itself down and take a well deserved break. It argued back.

AI should never be trusted. Especially not when it's driven by for-profit corporations. Said entities will always prioritize profit over morals, ethics, and humanity. The bubble can't burst soon enough.

If folks didn’t know this was gonna happen, their head is in the sand on the whole technology world. They probably think their emails are private, too.

Good thing I don’t use Chrome.

Not for me. I don't use that trash.

It depends on the use.

duck.ai You can thank me later.

People should be migrating to Firefox, since Google created the Chromium framework that many browsers use.

If you really want to keep your chats safe, either de-google Brave completely, or move to Firefox (or a browser derived from it).

My what now?

Boo. No ai.

Of course they are

Lol shocking.

Glad I don't use that shit

It is “the universalizing tendency of capital, which distinguishes it,” says Marx, “from all previous stages of production.” For capital to expand it must commodify even the blink of an eye.

I don't think so. But even the author of this fix thinks people should ultimately switch from Google to something else. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...

Ditto

I keep asking AI "Is Trump dead yet?" and it has yet to give me a satisfactory answer.

People still don't understand the "cloud" is just someone else's computer

One more reason we need #AILegislationNow

Everything electronic is monetized. Only share what you’re willing to share. It’s okay not to use AI, Twitter and tictok.

Those are my profits because it's my info. Pay me.

WILL THEY BE PROSECUTED FOR THEIR ILLEGAL SCAM?

I got one and a half pagaragraphs in and I had to verify myself. Over and over again at the same point.

The irony of a company like Forbes posting this isn’t lost on me as they use AI everywhere and are probably using it to process all the comments on this post.

No regulations mean that they can and will do whatever the hell they want.

Turn AI off, everywhere you see it. If you can't (hello, Meta), then delete your account. The US has no meaningful privacy laws, and the tech bros are ignoring even the meaningless ones in the rush to enshittify everything.

We need more real individuality, not its consumerist or otherwise streamlined version, to counter the shaping of people by algorithmic & human servants of bigtech/capital. Unfortunately many are already trying to fit in somehow so badly that it gets easier & easier to manipulate them into submission
