Since Elon Musk took the reins of Twitter, things have completely changed on the platform, not only including paid subscription, but also the inclusion of artificial intelligence in the form of Grok.

Specifically, its use of artificial intelligence Twittercan end up worrying users, basically because their own publications are used to train the AI.

This is a great opportunity for alternatives to X, since by offering exactly the opposite, they could attract many users, and this is what is happening with Bluesky.

However, since Donald Trump won the recent elections in the United States, Bluesky has been gaining a lot of new users.

And taking advantage of the moment of controversy, where X is training its artificial intelligence with user publications, Bluesky has informed that they will not do that.

Interestingly, this statement from Bluesky has coincided with X’s new terms of service, which grants third-party partners access to train AI with user posts.

So Bluesky has jumped into the ring with the following statement: “Several artists and creators have chosen Bluesky as their home and we understand their concerns about other platforms training with their data. We do not use any of their content to train generative AI and We have no intention of doing so.”

In any case, Bluesky clarifies that use artificial intelligence to help with content moderationbut nothing about training the AI ​​with user posts.

Curiously, Theverge comments that Bluesky’s robot.txt file does not prevent other artificial intelligence companies such as OpenAI or Google from extracting data from the platform.

However, they clarify that this is due to the open nature of their platform, and that just as they cannot block external trackers, they cannot prevent other issues.

However, they undertake to make every effort within their power to ensure that user consent is respected.

So this could be seen as a new reason for many users to abandon X and join alternatives like Bluesky.
