📌 Pinterest used ~500 Million ROWS¹ of user pins² to train it's AI!

Data from 2009-Now, however the Social Media corp claims "users have granted Pinterest a license".

What license? Pretty sure AI training fine print wasn't a thing in 2009!

It even includes "limited personal information".

Grounds for a lawsuit? 🤓

¹ Never heard of this unit ever before, but even if we assume 1 ROW = 4-6 Pins that is 2-3 BILLION user Pins!

² Post would sound way worse wouldn't it?

Well pins are usually organized in rows of 4-6, when displayed on Pinterest and in a database each row could have a different type of data, therefore it really isn't that clear to me.
