Ask HN: AI exhaust is probably worth something to you or someone else

[anoop4bhat]

Every prompt, chat, and newsletter I burn through says a lot about how I think and work, but right now it's just sitting in 10 different tools doing nothing. Been wondering if people would pool theirs, either to get something useful back like a model that actually knows you, or to sell it to whoever's paying for this kind of data. Dumb idea or is there something here?

Every tracker is likely chomping at the bit to purchase your chats. I don't know but also would not be surprised to find out that every major player already sells this data. Cloud computing at some level is just an information broker extraction tool.

I would not pool my data with others nor sell it if I knew how to prevent such things from happening though I do believe they are happening.

You are right, its likely happening. The pitch I'm chewing on is flipping that: you own the pipe, you decide if anything leaves, and if it does you get paid instead of the platform. Curious what would make you trust a setup like that, or is it a hard no regardless? Maybe you also get to see what sort of PII data you have and the platform sanitizes it...
