MODERATORS
Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.
I'm not overly concerned because I know how to use these things. I know what they do, and so when one of them is doing something concerning I turn it off.
People are frightened of things they don't understand, and it's apparent that lots of people don't understand AI.
Good luck turning off the corporate AI's scraping your data from whatever websites you use to profit off of it!
This thread isn't about websites, it's about functions built into operating systems. Those are generally much more configurable. Microsoft wants corporations to run Windows, after all, and corporations tend to be very touchy about this sort of thing.
