## Quote — verbatim

> Today GPT is trained on yours and my data, we gave for free essentially, so it's taking our data and actually capturing quite a lot of value, and I think that's wrong. So you should have control, sovereign, about your data and what you want to do with your data. If you want to get paid... I think that should be very primitive.
