I'm just shocked that the companies who stole all kinds of copyrighted material would again do something unethical to keep the bubble and gravy train going...

Yes, their worst fear is people figuring out that an AI chatbot is a strict librarian that spits out quotes but doesn't let you enter the library (the AI model itself). Because with 3D game-like UIs people can enter the library and see all their stolen personal photos (if they were ever online), all kind of monsters. It'll be all over YouTube.

Imagine this but you remove the noise and can walk like in an art gallery (it's a diffusion model but LLMs can be loosely converted into 3D maps with objects, too): https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/07/generative-ai-sp...

Do you really think facebook's model weights contain all the facebook personal photos?

With more than 50% probability. Instagram has a clause that they can use your photos for ads and endorsements, basically for profit.

Many sites repost those photos, I doubt Meta will care to meticulously remove them. If the model can generate photo-like content of people - it had photos of people put inside.

I doubt they only trained on public domain photos of people.

If they started doing shady stuff, why would they ever stop?
