Changing the definition of what is copyright able, is a monumentally awful idea!!!

Why work for a company that doesn’t care about their own privacy? Like seriously, anything a person says when the AI Companion is on - is taken. Zoom’s definition of “obtaining consent” from users, is a user agreeing to be in a meeting with the that program turned on.

Why people are still using Zoom’s AI that they can then sell to data vendors, is totally beyond me. Do people STILL not read the Terms of Service for these things???

If you have to use Zoom - seriously DO NOT use their AI …

They’re Stuffed Animals. They’re Also A.I. Chatbots.

They should call this what it really is - putting a corporate spy into your kids bedroom. No thanks.

Wonderful, thank you very much! 🙏🏻💕

And yes, @zacharyberger.bsky.social is correct, this is a very reputable and frequently used system.

Sure. This is our sponsored petition from Concept Art Association that is going to the CA Legislature and to those specific legislators in support of AB-412.

When filling it out, the starred items are what the government requires for your signature to be considered valid.

Hope that makes sense.
