The online communities we’ve come to rely on are increasingly being flooded with AI-generated commentary, mimicking what real humans might say. This has sparked concerns among users who feel helpless as their past contributions are being used to train the next generation of artificial intelligence. Some have tried to delete or rewrite their past comments, but to no avail. Governments and platforms are responding, but with mixed results.

The question remains: are we okay with AI learning from our online activities?
