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

Title is misleading, they're now opt-out rather than opt-in to your data being used for training. All you have to do is flip a single switch in the options to turn it off, I don't understand why everyone is treating this as being such a big deal.

Edit: I just logged in to opt out, they presented me with the switch directly. It was two clicks.

I think any switch from opt-out-by-default to opt-in-by-default sucks, especially when it has no clear immediate benefit to the person being opted in.

Disclaimer: not a Claude user (not even a prospective one)

i think skepticism is healthy, but they've handled this in a fairer way than any other online product i've used before.

they gave me a popup to agree to the ToS change, but I can ignore it for a month and still use the product. In the popup, they clearly explained the opt-out switch, which is available in the popup itself as well as in the settings.
