    In a sane world it's called copyright violation and sending something to someone for comment doesn't give them rights to share it to a 3rd party. Especially not a corporation that ignores copyright.

    "It" can't freely use that without her permission, it can use the copied material without her permission.

    Outside of USA in most countries a work is automatically copyright. The person asked for comment has broken copyright. They could be successfully sued.

    @RegGuy @ravenbait @sundogplanets The point is that the bot/agent/llm whatever doesn't have any permissions inherited from the user being sent a document for comment. It's simply illegal copying in same sense as uploading to file sharing and publishing the link on every social media.

    @raymaccarthy @ravenbait @sundogplanets Yeah, it was given the document, and I'm 99.99% sure it sucked it into its system and will use it freely as it does everything else it illegally obtained. Thus my op on the subject. It's moot that it's illegal; it's what these "AI" monstrosities do.

    @raymaccarthy @RegGuy @ravenbait @sundogplanets Was the original manuscript written in Word? Google Docs? sent via e-mail on a Microsoft or Google platform? Do any of these companies, even if they trumpet FERPA compliance, restrict what they feed their AI?

    I really don't think you can hope for anonymity and a scrape-free experience in 2026 unless you're using LibreOffice on a system unplugged from the net.

    But no. Fuck this "colleague."
