  Not sure how you got to that conclusion. The survey prompt was “Please indicate whether or not you ever use the following websites or apps.” 29% responded that they do not use the platform, less than 1% did not respond. That’s 70%.

  That’s why I said local models. They aren’t automatically taking outputs and training updates on them.

  And yeah, we’ve all already had our likenesses folded in somewhere. That’s the bigger problem here.

  Yes, if it was on a locally-hosted generative model, I wouldn’t be bothered if someone did this in my likeness. That wouldn’t be meaningfully different than using Photoshop to fake it ten years ago.

  Passing it around to their friends and gods know whom else is still just as reprehensible though.
