Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

Iā€™m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. šŸ˜Š I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Aaaand I got blocked

Are torrents still easily traceable?

[ā€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's just the nature of peer-to-peer file sharing. When you download a torrent from a large site your client broadcasts your IP to any of the available seeders. Seeders are just anyone who downloaded the torrent before you, and you generally download from many seeders for one torrent.

Using a VPN or seedbox masks your IP. The actual torrent itself isn't "traceable" unless you continue to seed after its compleled downloading.

I don't know, but there is no reason not to use magnets.

If you're not behind a vpn and you have a larger ISP, you will get notices and eventual suspension of service. Copyright holders track torrents of their content, record all IP address, and send out bulk copyright notices to the ISP. ALWAYS use a vpn

I'll just continue to use Usenet.
