That’s a bizarre statement. Their website says:
> Services for individuals, such as ChatGPT and Codex
> When you use our services for individuals such as ChatGPT and Codex, we may use your content to train our models.
> You can opt out of training through our privacy portal by clicking on “do not train on my content.”
Are they not sure that the opt-out works?
Oddly, their privacy portal page is not the same page as the one with the checkbox.
Do we have a first-hand confirmation that Buckmaster and/or Alpoge opted out? At this point it seems important information.
Also highlights that it ought to be opt-in
Whether they opted out would help assess the degree of wrongdoing, but regardless, using their own data to try to scoop them is unethical.
Looking forward to my fourteen cents from the future class action lawsuit.
