There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I’m really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?
I do not want my data to train AIs regardless of whether that data leaves my device or not.
That is a valid stance and feeling to have; and you can in fact turn off and opt out of the AI features in Android to reduce the issue to a non-issue.
TBH if it was Graphene doing it to improve my battery life and I could audit the ACLs set up so I can confirm that it doesn’t leave the device, then I’d keep it switched on. Of course, I’d want to data to be deleted on a schedule with just the inferences maintained and want it locked down and encrypted as much as possible.
The underlying sentiment is that I don’t want someone to profit from my data without fair recompense and far more importantly, WITHOUT MY CONSENT. Everything else is fluff.
I wouldn’t mind them using my data for good things. But I know they don’t, their motivation is always profit - to extract wealth from me to their shareholders.
I think that’s what I find so creepy about the comic, this delusional view of themselves as the good guys when their actions will always result in their profit rising more than any theoretical productivity and wage gains from technology. “Hey everyone! We’ve found a new and ethical way for everyone to help shovel our collective graves! Yay!”
I completely get you. Agreed
