As it turns out, it’s impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation to enforce either option.

I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

    This is an article about unlearning data, not about not consuming it in the first place.

    LLM’s are not storing learned data in it’s raw, original form. They are injesting it and building an understanding of language based off of it.

    Attempting to peel out that knowledge would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible because there’s really no way to identify it.

      And we’re saying that if peeling out knowledge that someone has a right to have forgotten is difficult or impossible, that knowledge should not have been used to begin with. If enforcement means big tech companies have to throw out models because they used personal information without knowledge or consent, boo fucking hoo, let me find a Lilliputian to build a violin for me to play.
