Next time someone tries to convince you that their local slop machine is "privacy friendly" and "fully GDPR-compliant", ask them to try this:
Take a glass of water. Pour it into the sea. Extract the same water from the sea again.
The same goes for our data once they're fed to a slop machine. There's nothing privacy friendly about the complete loss of control over our information. Running a slop machine locally doesn't change anything.

@r_alb@mastodon.social I love this analogy. I am often frustrated when people say, “oh, it’s OK, I’m using a local model!” All that does is set a stop point for the data theft. Data you don’t own was used to build that local model. Still unethical. #AI
