So my theory is that with the help of telemetry or something else, AI can learn from data stored on users' computers, meaning AI can steal your completed work, as well as your edits and corrections to your work, etc., even offline if you're a Windows user for example.

In short, AI will be able to learn from you even when you edit your articles, edit your drawings, improve your music, etc. In other words, AI will literally steal your soul.

What do you think about it?

No. It can't do that.

You mean like copilot right now ?

Please explain how a PC not connected to anything online is able to steal your documents.

Bonus if you use ""telemetry" to explain something about offline PCs.

I’m not even following why this is an argument , but personal experience …. About 15 years ago the company I was at added telemetry to its windows product. This was legit as we were looking to stamp out some pesky bugs we had never been able to reproduce, no personal data collected. But the basic implementation was to write collected data to disk, then there was a completely separate service whose only job was uploading that data.

The point is the basic model supported collecting telemetry data even while offline and it would get uploaded ifyou ever were online

And it uploaded that data...

Thru the Internet?

That hypothetical would involve a massive upload, especially since OP is talking every edit and not just documents.

Like, type a 300 word essay, it would need to send exponentially huge amounts of documents because it's a new edit every time a letter is typed/erased.

Like, it's a ridiculous scenario.

We don't need those, there are plenty real world.problems with AI.

Only if you allow copilot on your device.

Updating (or buying a new computer) force feed copilot like edge to your system, does it not ?
