BlueSky, currently facing backlash as customers flee X, reaffirms its stance, stating it has “no plans” to leverage user-generated content for training generative AI tools. As announced by the social community in tandem with X’s introduction of innovative features empowering users to utilize the platform more effectively.
“We’ve seen many artists and creators find a home on Bluesky, where they’re frustrated by the lack of understanding from other platforms about their work,” Bluesky notes in an in-app statement. “We explicitly refrain from utilizing any of your content for training generative AI models and reaffirm our commitment to not utilizing them in the future.”
The company has leveraged AI for internal purposes, utilizing the technology to aid in content moderation, while also incorporating it into its “Uncover” algorithmic feed. Despite this, Bluesky claims that “none of these are generative AI techniques trained on personal content.”
On X, a social platform owned by Elon Musk, posting content grants the company permission to “analyze textual content and other information you provide” and use it to “present, promote, and enhance the Companies,” including training machine learning and artificial intelligence models.
Since launching its new marketing campaign, Bluesky has experienced a significant surge in customer numbers following the highly publicized U.S. The presidential election showcased several benefits of a right-wing approach, particularly following Elon Musk’s use of the platform to campaign for President-elect Donald Trump.
The startup announced on Thursday evening that they exceeded their fundraising goal by a significant amount during the last 24 hours of their campaign. As of the current moment, it stands at this precise tally.
Notwithstanding a surge in clientele, it is crucial to acknowledge that Meta’s Threads remains the dominant force among its top competitors, with an impressive tally of over 17 million active users as of this date, solidifying its position as market leader.
