For Grok’s sake you hope this is data that was public, something that was buried deep that it has surfaced.

It’s a shame transparency is so poor here. A simple grep of the training data would likely give a clear explanation of where this has come from.

>I've been paying for data removal services for like, at least six years now

Do such services actually work? The internet is forever.

The tech industry was very much against the idea when it first came about. It was only really enforced by a few big companies because of some European law and this lady being from Europe likely excepts information on the internet to be controlled in a centralized way.

There's also been some revenge porn laws in the US that have some cross over. But it's definitely mostly hopes and dreams if you have the money to spend, not something strictly practical.

Wow, her real last name is Manlove. What a twist.

If grok knew that it must have been publically available information.

But should that information ever have been publicly available? Someone else here linked to another instagram account publishing the same data, but that sure sounds like she didn't put it out there.

It's like saying that someone publishing your bank account balance or nude photos is fine, because someone once stole that data and released it on the internet.

No, it's not. You assume it was stolen, while it wasn't implied in that comment. They simply stated that the data have been put publicly at some point or another.

Why is that true? Especially with such "must have been" certainty?

Or is "publicly available" used here to include data breaches and data sold by gray area data brokers? If this is your point then what would qualify as private information ? If this isn't your point

In this example the person only asked "who is she what is her name" and it would have been fine to stick with her stage name, as real name and birthdate wasn't asked.

Outing yourself as not having read the article; an image within and the text clearly shows that Grok provided both her stage name AND her legal name.

You are the one who chose not to read the article and then chose to baselessly speculate. You should own your decisions and not pass the buck to the author.

idk who I can talk about a Facebook Meta Ai which added some sexual features to an influencer for an add for a company x. The company x doesn't wanna talk about and influencer y also doesn't wanna talk about it.

Which makes me think what other things like this has happened with Ai.
