Uhh... are they training AI models on people's files? That's sort of the feeling I'm getting from their "PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE" push.

Well, they say they won't use customer data for model training.

But, it isn't clear whether or not they'd get that consent passively, like "by continuing to use our services" after sending a little email "hey we updated our privacy policy, thought you should know, k thx bye"

I mean they can train their AI on my entire hard drive if I can upload it for free....
