I find this kind of thing particularly questionable because I like many people am often dealing with documents and text which I do not have the right to share with anybody even if I wanted to.

I am sure all the financial institutions and medical organizations are verrrrrry thrilled about this.

I noticed via the link from another comment that "work" and "schools" can turn it off - though not exactly easily.

Are we heading for a situation like smart TVs, where individuals are wrapped in the net of data collection but companies can pay extra to not be spied on - so they don't kick up enough of a fuss or stop using the vendor.

Well I'm neither "work" nor a "school", I'm sort of like a freelancer so I'm using my personal copy.

Then FEED THE AI!

Or dig through all the settings yourself to turn it off.
