I don’t have Facebook or anything Meta.

But what can or will happen to people who let Meta train its AI with their data, selfies, locations, and behavior patterns etc? Thanks in advance

    All this is already happening and has been for a while before the whole AI hype even started.

    I will take your question as a more general “What can happen”, not focusing too much on LLMs. Although arguably it was their precursors who started the more nefarious ways of aquiring & perusing ever more esp. behavioral data.

    So the question is: what are the real-life harms of private online data collection everybody warns about? The answer is as long winded as explaining the mechanism of the aquisition itself.

    It’s pervasive. “They” can tweak almost every manner of interaction with their customers/subjects. It affects younger people (and I mean younger than me, and I still remember the time when there was no internet for the people) constantly and in ways they aren’t even aware of. It allows the creation of data sets that are being sold on - now including DNA thanks to millions of useful idiots who went to 23andme -

    out of breath. maybe somebody else can continue this
