@rysiek now sit back and watch as it is eventually revealed that "no, the training data does NOT actually stay on your machine, it is shipped back to Mothership in order to improve your experience. But don't worry it is toooootally anonymized with aaaaal nauthy bits removed fo real fam rizz rizz no cap boom noodle".

just watch.

Why do I say this?

THIS is Microsoft's answer to " where will we get clean free training data from when the whole internet is rotten with LLM content and everyone is suing because rights infringement".

Juuuust Watch.

Yes, we'd have to be naive to think that this won't be a huge issue. I can only imagine what's going to happen when places like law firms and medical practices realize that Microsoft's turned on the data siphoning without telling them.

For normal users I always advise installing something like AME, for example AtlasOS's AME. Which will disable all the telemetry as well as updating (so it can't auto-reinstall). It does mean that you have to reinstall windows to add updates but that's a consequence of linking the telemetry and update systems together.

I still remember back when online security updates first started taking off and Microsoft absolutely assured people that the updates would only ever be used for security fixes and absolutely nothing else, while implying that it was just paranoia to think otherwise.

Oh, do you have a link to that? This would be relevant to my interests.

Sorry, this was something I read ages and ages ago, I tried to Google for it, but with only vague memories to work off of I didn't have a lot of luck.
