Anthropic will now retain all user data for five years, and has reversed course on using chats for training; they will. Sep 28 is the deadline to opt out. I just did, and the UI is a master class in dark patterns.

the opting out in the app is a clusterfuck of dark ux design patterns. when I click the toggle to not share my chats, will hitting the accept button. mean opting out or opting in? Ps: I need followers yall
Yes I was not amused to see this today. And it was a matter of time this to happen. On the bright side there’s now the AI Lumo by Proton which I think will get a boost. I have only tested it briefly and will definitely use it more instead of Claude. image

Dark patterns” are tricks in app or website design that try to push you into doing something you might not really want to do. Example: making the “accept all” button big and bright, but hiding the “opt out” option in small text or several menus deep. It’s basically design that manipulates users instead of helping them
Thanks to Proton's Lumo and @Maple AI I will gladly leave Claude them and ChatGPT
