That's a good point, that muddies the waters a bit. Makes it hard to say wether it's spouting info from the web or if it's data from the model.
I can't comment on actual legality in this case, but I feel handling personal data like this, even from the open web, in a context where hallucinations are an overwhelming possibility, is still morally wrong. I don't know the GDPR well enough to say wether it covers temporary information like this, but I kinda hope it does.
Lol, I definitely hope not 🤪 imagine a web without search engines, with GDPR counting for temporary information as well, it would not be feasible to offer.
hmm, true enough. But in my mind there's a clear difference between showing information unedited and referring to its source, and this.
Most LLM these days show what they searched for generating the post, but not many seem to manually validate the summary of the LLM by clicking on those links…
