We are not talking about inference.

The prompts and responses are used as training data. Even if your provider allows you to opt out they are still tracking your usage telemetry and using that to gauge performance. If you don’t own the storage and compute then you are training the tools which will be used to oppress you.

Incredibly naive comment.

They show a clear pop-up where you choose your setting about whether or not to allow data to be used for training. If you don't choose to share it, it's not used.

I mean I guess if someone blindly clicks through everything and clicks "Accept" without clicking the very obvious slider to turn it off, they could be caught off guard.

Assuming everyone who uses Claude is training their LLMs is just wrong, though.

Telemetry data isn't going to extract your codebase.
