    remember kids, everything you post on the internet stays forever*

    *unless it cannot be monetized anymore

      Don’t worry, it might still bubble up to the surface in the hallucinations of an AI.

        You can’t train an AI on data that’s no longer in existence

          But a decade from now, there will be AI trained on data that will no longer exist. And many websites that GPT trained on probably don’t exist anymore.

      Everything you post has potential to remain forever even if it’s not monetized directly. Cautioning people about it makes sense now and has always made sense.
