> In summary - if user input on a private adventure is flagged using an automated system, it will be manually reviewed, with other private user adventures potentially being manually reviewed as well. With almost half of the userbase being involved with NSFW stories, this seems like a tremendous misstep, as users have an expectation that their private adventures are, well, private.
I would assume they want to review the inputs to avoid a repeat of the incident where Microsoft's Twitter bot was trained to say inappropriate things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)
If that’s true then they can review public data or use private data only with explicit consent. Suddenly deciding to read people’s private sexual fantasies just to “improve our algorithm” seems quite over the line.
Adding to that, the system supported multiuser role playing which many people used during the COVID year for intimacy with their significant others. Latitude is essentially deciding to peruse sexts for fun.
