San Francisco: Automattic, the parent company of sites like Wordpress and Tumblr, has reportedly decided to sell its user data to artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI and Midjourney. Through this, it seems that those AI companies will carry out training tasks.

In the past 2022, talk about generative AI has spread among the world’s people. AI tools require large amounts of data to run. Till now this data is collected from the internet. So creators and publishers are accusing AI companies of using their works without informing them.

It is in this context that the automatic company has taken this decision. In the same way, various companies are said to have offered to sell their user data to AI companies.

Users who don’t want their data shared with AI companies have an opt-out option, Automate said. It is also reported that a new feature is going to be brought for this. It has also been reported that they have decided to travel only with AI companies that agree to this.

Users are said to be deleting their photos from the social networking site Tumblr after this information was released. Wordpress is a popular blogging platform.
