    The hard fact is OpenAI is already exposing itself to lawsuits by training on copyrighted material.

    So the proof here should be “what makes them trustworthy this time?”

      There’s kind of a difference between “we scraped the internet and decided to use copyrighted content anyways because we decided to interpret copyright law as not being applicable to the content we generate using copyrighted content” (omegalul) and “we explicitly agreed to a legally-binding contract with Apple stating we won’t do that”.

    • Because Apples lawyers will go ham.

      I don’t want my comments here to be received as shilling Apple, more that I want them to based on actual information that is provided and not opinion pieces.

      The fact is, if they were to caught saving data then Apple would just end the contract. Is it worth it for them to lose out on that cash, for the sake of using it. When they can just use all the other sources where they are allowed to do that.

      Anyway, I don’t care what anonymised data they may or may not save. It won’t be tied to me.

      Edit: Do you have some information on this existing lawsuits and the contracts they broke?

        Google pays Apple $20 billion a year to keep their search on Apple devices. The subtext of “search” is Google pays Apple for your search data.

        Apple has sold your data for the right price to Google, so there should be no expectation that they won’t do the same with other companies.

        • They sell Google the right to keep it as the default, not that they’re selling data.

          Again, point me to some proof of it being actually selling data. As to my understanding they pay for the default engine to be Google.
