If you have a Claude account, they're going to train on your data moving forward

I use AI to solve problems, not to check the weather or deciding what to wear. As such it makes sense for AI to remember when it hits the nail on the head.

Agreed. Typically I would be against something like this, but in this case, have it.

How do you feel about this data being used to target advertising at you in the inevitable rush to monetize these AI products?

I feel like that’s annoying, but it’s a drop in the bucket vs the current firehose of ads, and there’s a slim shot these ads might actually be interesting or relevant to me.

Anyway, I’ll block them like I do everything.

And if you solve a novel problem, Claude will happily take your reasoning and give it to the next user trying to solve the same novel problem. Imagine if that was a guy working for the competition :)

Oh, sweet summer child, your SOLUTIONS will be trained on and will be given to others without your permission and knowledge.

But now that you bring up ads, I guarantee you that those will somehow be incorporated in Claude soon.

I dislike ads because they generally aren't relevant -- the chance that they add value to my life is very slim -- and we're bombarded with them. Ads will soon become a thing of the past: I imagine AI being able to create full fledged products based on our needs / wants / desires tailored to your personal requirements and constraints. Of course, this is dependent on how much power we're able to pump in to capable AI systems, but as the industry migrates, I don't believe that will be a problem. Imagine how much power is currently wasted on useless legacy data mining and machine learning by the ocean of SaaS companies that promise to boost conversion rates from single digits to single digits for the countless amount of products that only perpetuate the destruction of this world.
