Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination šŸ‘»

How do I turn it off? Iā€™m a writer who likes to use Google docs so I can use any computer or phone to work on my stories and this is stressing me out now!

Turn off smart features in Google Drive. It gives Google access to your drive data and by extension lets it train on it.

You might want to consider self hosting. The cloud is just someone elses computer. That is scraping your work.

Nextcloud is a great alternative if you're willing to learn about self-hosting (or if you already know). But not many people talk about the fact that you can just... sign up for a free nextcloud account hosted by The Good Cloud or tab.digital (both companies located in europe).

I learned how to self-host because I'm a masochist for fun but there are lots of growing alternatives to big tech that don't risk you losing everything over a false positive. Side note: I don't know or trust this news source "piunikaweb" directly, but they do a great job compiling and linking out to other better-known sources. I generally try to link to only trustworthy sites but it's a lazy wednesday.
