"It was too personal... I deleted it..." PSYCHE!

I used to distrust 'the Cloud'.   

I'm still suspicious. Not so much about the spyware, that's an accepted given. 

For me, it's about creative commons. I've never read the small print but am willing to bet there is a clause saying users accept their info and work is now part owned by the provider.

I have seen allegations that AI generated artworks and even this stupid AI actress thing is plagarism and look forward to hearing of any legal  action and it's outcome.

It's only actually plagiarism if someone is being denied compensation.

Now watch the attorney's climb all over each other for the 10-year adjudication and the accompanying media side show...

Truthfully... it is always the fault of the person who told us that words can be "owned" forever. (Sorry authors..., but really.... even after you're dead?)

"Companies" will find a way to seize all such work, and "own" it - if not in name - in effect....  sort of like Hollywood did with all "their" content.  Imagine that? .... just like Hollywood....

never gonna happen, right?

Wait until every single EULA and piece of fine print you have agreed to, along with the text and transcripts of all legal predicant, along with the forensic datastream that has been collected of every time you hit "okay", is all fed in to an aggregating AI model, and then someone asks that AI model, "now, what can we get away with?"

Part of the M&A process is reconciliation of contracts and obligations specifying "enurement to the benefit of", a common phrase in all EULAs if you search for it. Disparate compromises of personal sovereignty and privacy aggregate, the net closes... and into the future we go.
