Posts training AI? Social media users outraged!

In this podcast episode, the hosts tackle the ethical issues surrounding AI and data privacy, with a particular focus on X's (formerly Twitter) contentious new terms of service. These terms permit the platform to use user-generated content for AI training without needing explicit consent. The conversation highlights the backlash from creators and everyday users over concerns about intellectual property rights and the commercialization of personal data. Alongside this serious topic, the hosts share a light-hearted segment about Dunedin Airport's amusing yet debated three-minute hug rule for drop-offs. This contrast effectively showcases the seriousness of privacy issues while also reflecting the diverse norms of personal interactions in society.
