melfie comments on A $200 ChatGPT subscription could cost OpenAI $14,000 if you actually used it to its full potential

Your data probably isn't worth $14k to them in most cases, no. If you’re using it for legitimate purposes, though, still helping them by using their product and sharing your data with them. They’re getting data showing how a real human thinks and interacts with their system, and if you have it help you with any of your own IP that isn’t AI generated, you’re giving them something that is literally priceless.

"Literally priceless" that nobody would be willing to pay $14k for.

I have code for personal projects that solves problems in novel ways as well as other creative work that I don’t care to let Anthropic and OpenAI train their models on. Is my work worth $14k to them? Well, the value is intangible to me, and I can say at least that companies have paid me a lot more than that for code that took a similar amount of time to write. The major data sources for training LLMs like GitHub, Reddit, Wikipedia, etc. have already been tapped, but they always need more and more data. If you want to give them your data like it’s not worth anything, you do you, but they’re not getting mine. If I need LLMs for personal use, it’s local or nothing.

You keep trying to make this into something it's not. All I have been saying is that the data is not worth $14k. You seem to want to make it about me being okay with them having access to my data. I never said that.
