Wow. People cannot read. At all.

Currently there's a wave of "you need to turn connected experiences off in Word or else Microsoft is gonna steal your text and train its AI" helpful tips.

Except, there's nothing to suggest this. Best case they link to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-apps/privacy/connected-experiences which explains all the places where machine learning tools are used to analyze your content. Go on, Ctrl-F "train" on that page.

Now, I'm not saying that Microsoft is not sinister.

But please, when hyperventilating wild claims, can you at least make sure that a) you have a source and b) your purported source actually supports your claim?

@henryk The problem is lack of trust from other less than trustworthy products, so the instinct is distrust anything new.

Also why make the "off" button so obfuscated if they have nothing to hide.

Microsoft need to be more open and better listeners.
