I noticed this in your latest announcement about updates to the TOS/privacy policy:
Al features. Like so many of you, we’re excited about AI, and we’re identifying ways it can enhance your product experience. We explain how we use data in our AI features.
(Sidenote: this is just terrible messaging, not everyone is “excited about AI,” and it’s basically a triggering word for a lot of people, who will write off your entire product because they have come to associate “AI” with “en**bleep**tification.”)
The only explanation of using data in AI features I could find was in the privacy policy (identical language appears in Legal Bases):
- Provide AI Features. For example, we use machine learning or artificial intelligence, including large language models, to detect anomalies on leaderboards, generate route recommendations, or provide personalized training guidance.
This is…not a lot of explanation. At a minimum I’d like to know:
- Which of my data contribute to which features. For example, do my route data contribute to route recommendations?
- Which features I see may be generated artificially. For example, which routes are created artificially and which are created by humans?
More specifically, I’d like to be able to opt in or out of AI-assisted features (i.e. prohibit the use of my data in training a model.) For example, I might want to forego appearing on leaderboards if it means my data aren’t used to train anomaly detection.
