Really? It's been working just fine for me.

I understand that Perplexity employs various language models to handle queries and that the responses generated may not directly come from the training data used by these models; since a significant portion of the output comes from what it scraped from the web. However, a significant concern for some individuals is the potential for their posts to be scraped and also used to train AI models, hence my post.

I'm not anti AI, and, I see your point that transformers often dissociate the content from its creator. However, one could argue this doesn't fully mitigate the concern. Even if the model can't link the content back to the original author, it's still using their data without explicit consent. The fact that LLMs might hallucinate or fail to attribute quotes accurately doesn't resolve the potential plagiarism issue; instead, it highlights another problematic aspect of these models imo.

Yes, the platform in question is Perplexity AI, and it conducts web searches. When it performs a web search, it generally gathers and analyzes a substantial amount of data. This compiled information can be utilized in various ways, including creating profiles of specific individuals or users. The reason I bring this up is that some people might consider this a privacy concern.

I understand that Perplexity employs other language models to process queries and that the information it provides isn't necessarily part of the training data used by these models. However, the primary concern for some people could be that their posts are being scraped (which raises a lot of privacy questions) and could also, potentially, be used to train AI models. Hence, the question.

There are several way, honestly. For Android, there's NewPipe. The app itself fetches the YouTube data. For PC, there are similar applications that do the same such FreeTube. Those are the solutions I recommend.

If you're one of those, you can also host your own Invidious and/or Piped instances. But I like NewPipe and FeeTube better.

That would make sense...

Not really. All I did was ask it what it knew about llama@lemmy.dbzer0.com on Lemmy. It hallucinated a lot, thought. The answer was 5 to 6 items long, and the only one who was partially correct was the first one – it got the date wrong. But I never fed it any data.

[–] llama@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah, it hallucinated that part.

Don't give me any ideas now >:)

I couldn't agree more!

Oh, no. I don't dislike it, but I also don't have strong feelings about it. I'm just interested in hearing other people's opinions; I believe that if something is public, then it is indeed public.

I think so too. And I tried to do my research before making this post, but I wasn't able to find anyone bringing this issue up.
