Is there a dissonance?

There is a difference with accepting a "feature" in a product you sign-on to, and having it added behind your back.

On one side, gravatar never talked about feeding your profile to AI when he signed up, and never amended TOS or announced change in that direction (that he received at least).

On the other, the new service he use are upfront about it; though I don't use either service, so no idea on the whole package.

I personally find value in that.
