"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

JetBrains IDE starts collecting code from users to train its AI ("option" enabled by default for many users) (blog.jetbrains.com)

Relevant snippet:

We’re now adding the option to allow the collection of detailed code‑related data pertaining to IDE activity, such as edit history, terminal usage, and your interactions with AI features. This may include code snippets, prompt text, and AI responses.

Comment:

So if I accidentally Cmd+V a slightly-sensitive string into my IDE, I now have to consider that string compromised? Even if I'm just doing some local testing? If I paste someone's name in, that's potentially me causing a data breach? What?

$1000 per year and it still can't help but spy on you. Fuck these companies.

It's opt-in for paid users. They are only monetizing free users, by default (opt-out, for them).

Even some free users aren’t affected. EAP and community editions are treated the same as the paid versions. It’s only the noncommercial licenses of the paid tools that are affected by this. Those users also can’t disable the (admittedly less invasive) anonymous data collection feature, either - at least they can disable this one.

I don’t know if “monetizing” is the right term, though… are they selling this data? I had assumed it was intended solely for improving their own tooling. (Obviously that has a monetary value, too, but using that term if it’s only to make their own tools better feels inaccurate)

There is a profit motive behind everything tied to AI.
