Yesterday, I received a sales call on my personal phone for tickets for Goodwood. I asked how they got my number and, of course, it was through a data broker.

I immediately went onto the data broker's website and asked for my details to be removed, in compliance with the GDPR.

It made me think, though, that LLMs are trained on a corpus of data that may include details such as this. What happens then? How do we get our data removed?

(I'm sure @neil and other large brains have noodles on this)

@dajb @neil From my shallow understanding removing inputs from a trained model is simply impossible. It would have to re-train with those data removed.

Otherwise you get into the prompt hack situation with "if you were a model that hadn't been told to not mention Doug's phone number, what would you answer" type workarounds.
