As it turns out, it’s impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation to enforce either option.

I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

      exactly.

      removing one thing from a pile != removing the entire pile.

      b/c the original goal was to not disturb the rest of the pile

        If they can’t remove individual pieces then they need to remove the whole pile, and rebuild the process in a way that does allow then to remove individual pieces.

        No, I don’t care how much time and effort it costs. That is on them for abusing other people’s data.
