I think your first one is getting downvoted hard because your first sentence is not at all how any of this works.
Sucking down personal data isn't JUST a bad idea for privacy, it's actually also bad for "making the best products," I think you're overstating the extent to which all that data that is stolen and sold to the highest bidder actually helps the company buying it?
Ah thanks for pointing out. I don't care much for LLMs at all, but my point was simply that whoever has data, and especially personalized data, has an upper hand in making LLMs into better end user product, for those that like them. This may be underestimated right now when most dick measuring is comparing model-model not integration into a product.
> data that is stolen and sold to the highest bidder
Didn’t mean necessarily the data brokers (although that’s an interesting angle), but say Apple now has a bunch of info about your calendar, email, contacts, then clearly they have an upper hand in providing better products than an anonymous API call. Not all products need personalization but LLMs? I can think of tons of use cases.
