Am I the only one that assumed everything was already being used for training?

I don't understand this mindset. Why would you assume anything? It took me a couple minutes at most to check when I first started using Claude.

I check when I start using any new service. The cynical assumption that everything's being shared leads to shrugging it off and making no attempt to look for settings.

It only takes a moment to go into settings -> privacy and look.

So your assumption is that the reported privacy policy of any company is completely accurate. There there is no means for the company to violate this policy and that once violated you will immediately be notified.

It only takes a moment to examine history and observe why this is wholly inadequate.
