It’s still odd to me that the sentiment on HN around the iCloud CSAM scanning was very negative, but from what I’ve seen the sentiment around AI tools built on scanning prior works (Dalle, Copilot) seems pretty positive. In my mind they’re one in the same. There’s an expectation that the files you upload to a cloud service won’t be viewable to anyone without your permission, but until recently there was also an expectation that the work you upload to the internet, no matter where you uploaded it, wouldn’t be used by entities for their own personal profit. At least the iCloud scanning had the facade of being for an altruistic purpose going for it.
