PSA: Microsoft may be training on your private data without your knowledge

Microsoft refuted this claim: https://x.com/Microsoft365/status/1861160874993463648

"In the M365 apps, we do not use customer data to train LLMs. This setting only enables features requiring internet access like co-authoring a document." -@Microsoft365

I don’t have access to any Windows machines. Otherwise, I’d be tempted to turn this on and pump it full of Markov-chain generated slop.

How big would the damage be if a few percent of their userbase did this?

Microsoft is a powerful company, they know themselves above the Law. So why would they stop?
