AI Plan to Access More Personal Data

Open AI and Grok are now advertising that they will do AI analysis of one's health records for free.   ROFLMAO.    It's likely that Open AI and Grok is providing this "service"  to get one's personal data for free to use for AI learning.   Maybe I'm cynical, but I tend to err on the side of caution.

First, I'm not a fan of corporations having my personal data, especially if it's privacy related.   Second, I'm not a fan of corporations making money of my information, without any compensation.    Even if there was compensation, I would not provide my data.

Of course, there is data that I cannot avoid being used by corporations.  For example, I use a loyalty card with my grocery store, for discounts and special sales.  I know that Amazon tracks my purchases and likely uses or sells that information.  However, I do not use social media such as Facebook, Instagram or other similar products. Hopefully, this will make my personal data less accessible.
