How to ‘Object’ to Meta Using Your Content to Train AI Models
Tantacrul, on X:
I’m legit shocked by the design of @Meta’s new notification
informing us they want to use the content we post to train their
AI models. It’s intentionally designed to be highly awkward in
order to minimise the number of users who will object to it. Let
me break it down.
Each step of the process exhibits one or more dark patterns — and there are an absurd number of steps. Meta at its worst. This exemplifies everything untrustworthy and icky about Meta and AI itself. It’s just gross.
