Misrepresenting the article. Title is “Is Microsoft scraping Word and Excel data to train AI models?” and the site explicitly states “However, The Stack has learned that these concerns are inaccurate, and Microsoft has denied claims that it is feeding private information to large language models.”
They’re open to tips but presently its not actually being claimed anywhere.
A Microsoft spokesperson explicitly denied claims that it was using M365 data to train AI models and said: “In Microsoft 365 consumer and commercial applications, Microsoft does not use customer data to train large language models without your permission.”
Did you see it? Did you catch the fnord there? (hint: they slip it in the end there, if you know how they mean: BOGU)
I’m not saying I trust them, but where do they ask for permission?
