The terms of service for tech companies are undergoing significant changes, and it’s not just about adding a few words. Some updates are introducing entire sections to explain how generative AI models work and what kind of access they have to user data. This has raised concerns among writers, illustrators, and visual artists who fear that their work is being used to train AI products that could replace them.
