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 fine with that if the cost of it would be loss of privacy. I think there’s some situations where an invasion of privacy can be justified, such as legitimately trying to find online pedos.
