I mean yes but also doesn't change the creep factor
It very very much does if you understand how that sausage is made.
To the untrained eye though, I feel that.
Yeah and means that it can call on the location too, so while it doesnt have direct access it has indirect access. If thats a problem anyone has to fecide for themself
Any website you access wihout a VPN can get a rough location.
is that supposed to make it better?
browser data leaks a bad, lack of privacy in tech is fucking cancer
Just saying. I agree it's not good, but is is the norm so it's less "spooky" for sure.
you’re not wrong, it should be though
True enough
VPN isn't the only or best solution for this. Alternatives include TOR, proxies, etc.
Yes of course. I took the first one that came to mind.
Does it if you know, though..?
IMO, even involving location and private data in the digital ecosystem that includes a centralized LLM is a very unwise thing to do.
We both know that LLMs can and will spit out ANYTHING in their training data regrdless of how many roadblocks are put up and protective instructions given.
While they're not necessarily feeding outright personal info (of the general public, anyways) in to their LLMs' models, we should also both know how slovenly greedy these cunt corpos are. It'll only be a matter of time before they're feeding everything they clearly already have in.
At that point, it won't just be creep factor, but a legitimate doxxing problem.
This made me think of that "Im a robot" movie starring Fresh prince of Bel-air, when he had that hologram of that guy whose murder he was tryna solve, and it only answered him when he asked the right question. Definitely a tool call.
Also there was an AI in that that drove a bulldozer at fresh prince and made the robots glow red angrily (and also probably had location data accessible it it).
I'm not trying to say that it's art imitating life or anything because even my elastic definition of art can't be stretched that far, but it's sure something!
Of course it does.
