Welp, I didn’t yet delete my account. But this did it for me.
It won’t really matter to delete your account. Google will have your info from older backups to feed into the machine.
People have made scripts to edit all your comments. If you set it to edit each with nonsense jabbering it might screw with their algorithm, or if you’re a big enough data fish they may filter your name out of it so it doesn’t taint the ai. Of course if you’re a really big fish they may bother to just use your data from before edits and then blacklist your name from future scraping.
Yup. You know they have a backup from before the API announcements when things were still going strong and no one even thought about deleting or messing with their comments.
Reddit keeps a history of all your comments and edits, even when deleted. Facebook was keeping what you wrote even when you didn’t actually post it, I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit did as well.
The only way to fight this is to be increasingly vocal about AI not being legislated copyright wise. If anyone can scrap the data and use it, it becomes worthless to google and the open source scene survives.
They need walls so they can properly make their subscription model the only option.
