"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You are missing the fucking point. (Meaning you are probably one of the techbrodouches.)
Consent is positive, not negative.
Here's an experiment for you. Walk up to a strange woman you find attractive and grab her ass. When, not if, she reacts negatively, tell her it's OK: if she doesn't want her ass grabbed she can just ask you to let go. See how well that goes over as you explain your "opt-out" philosophy to a judge. THAT is the "Brave" model here. Inflict the thing someone doesn't want and say "oh, but it's easy to ask me to stop".
No. That is not the right way to navigate consent.
The right way to navigate it is to ask before grabbing the ass. Do that and you might get scolding, ejected from the club, whatever but you're not going to wind up in jail for sexual assault. Or, in this case, do this before you turn on the AI features. Make the consent positive, not negative.
But you knew that already. You just get your jollies from forcing undesired things on people, right?
