Comment on Florida woman used Claude as a diary, then Anthropic reported an entry to police

  Your argument would make sense if it were a forum or social media post.

  That was a conversation with an AI chatbot. A word generator. Inherently that stuff doesn’t communicate with anyone, and the only reason anyone saw it was that the chatbot company is spying on its users.

  A more reasonable comparison would be if the accused had written down plans to attack a police station in her iCloud-saved notes and Apple had taken a look unprompted and decided to contact the authorities.

    Nah you gotta be dumb as a box of rocks to treat any AI prompt like a private conversation. Just mind bogglingly ignorant.

      You gravely underestimate the ignorance of the general public. The vast majority of people don’t realize companies are spying on them. Even less so for content that isn’t publicly available.

      There is nothing inherently “communication” or “publishing” about an AI. In fact, a local LLM does not communicate anything to anyone, and it’s the same thing as Claude, just slower And without the telemetry.

      If you ignore corporate greed and yada yada, there’s no reason a tech illiterate person would expect that anything they say in there isn’t private.

        Nope,. pretty sure I know exactly how stupid they are. I’m just not going to stop calling them stupid on account of how many of them are that stupid. Seems kind of a stupid thing to do.

        Well, this’ll be a learning experience for the general public.
