Please Stop Making Me Opt Out of AI

In recent years, generative AI technologies have become increasingly prevalent, often with features that are automatically enabled. This trend raises significant concerns regarding user privacy and consent.

The current practice of requiring users to opt out of these features can lead to situations where individuals are unaware of the data being collected or how it is used. This lack of transparency is troubling.

Switching to an 'opt-in' model would empower users, allowing them to make informed decisions about their engagement with AI technologies. It is essential for companies to prioritize user consent and trust.
