Even if they have full transparency it doesn't mean they are GDPR complient. I tried to look more into it but was not successfull.

I don't believe that they disclosed the data on which they trained chatGPT. If you know do you mind sharing ? :)

Just read my edit about the GDPR and explicit consent.

"in Europe should be able to opt out of everything if you want." Great point, I wonder how would OpenAI react if people want them to remove their data. Is it even possible ?

Also to respond to your "to young and inexperienced" was not necessary for this debate. it gives the impression that you just want to insult me which shows a lack of maturity.

And also, maybe you should keep up to date with the legality of this mather (GDPR: Explicit consent). But hey, maybe you're to old or ignorant in this domain — or both? :)

I am not saying the whole internet is free to run but, using people's data without consent raises privacy and ethical concerns. Profiting from potentially stolen data raises questions about legality and morality.

While it is true that much of the data used to train these models is sourced from publicly available sources, it's also true that much of this data was generated by individuals who may not have been fully aware of the implications or intended uses of their contributions. The question of who owns this data and how it can be used is an important one, and it's understandable that some people might feel uncomfortable about the potential for profit to be made from it. It's important to have a conversation about ethical considerations in the development and deployment of large language models.

I understand your point, but it's important to consider the ethics of using data that was gathered without explicit consent or understanding of how it would be used. Just because it's technically allowed under terms and conditions, doesn't mean it's morally right. Companies have a responsibility to ensure that they use data in a responsible and ethical manner, rather than solely relying on the legality of the terms and conditions.

I am the only one who finds it weird to make profits from what it seems to be stolen data from the whole humanity?

Edit: Well didn't think this was a controversial take. I feel like people juste choose to ignore the whole aspect of consent and ethics about your data.

The GDPR further clarifies the conditions for consent in Article 7: https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/

1. Where processing is based on consent, the controller shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of his or her personal data.

2. If the data subject’s consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns other matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. Any part of such a declaration which constitutes an infringement of this Regulation shall not be binding.

3. The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Prior to giving consent, the data subject shall be informed thereof. It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

4. When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.
