As it turns out, it’s impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation to enforce either option.

I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

    The output only exists from the input.

    If you feed your model only on “legal” content, that would in many places ensure it had no LGBT+ positive content.

    Legality (and the dubious nature of justice systems) of training data is not the angle to be going for.

      You seem to think the majority of LGBT+ positive material is somehow illegal to obtain. That is not the case. You can feed it as much LGBT+ positive material as you like, as long as you have legally obtained it. What you can’t do is train it on LGBT+ positive material that you’ve stolen from its original authors. Does that make more sense?

        You do know being LGBT+ in many places is illegal, right? And can even carry the death penalty.

        Legality is not important and we should not care if it’s considered legal or not, because what’s legal isn’t what’s right or ethical.

          Yes I am aware of that. However, I’m not sure how this has anything to do with the fact that it is also illegal to steal data, then continue to use said data to make profits after having been found out. The two are not connected in any logical way, which makes it hard for me to continue to address your concerns in a way that makes sense.

          The way I see it, you’re either completely missing what we’re talking about, or you have some misunderstanding of what the AI language models actually are, and what they can do.

          For the record, I’m in no way disagreeing with your views, or your statements that legal and ethical don’t always overlap. It is clear to me that you are open minded and well-intended, which I appreciate, and I hope you don’t take this the wrong way.
