Of course – if the AI is supposed to give you an answer, they have to know what you are writing, so yes, logging your keystrokes is quintessential for every online service you interact with. You cannot get an answer without asking.
The wording is strange, though, and I’m not sure whether this ToS allows them to collect and process what you are typing while using their service, or all your typing.
logging your keystrokes is quintessential for every online service you interact with
No, it is not. Services expect the “complete” payload, whether a prompt, a text message, or whatever, it doesn’t matter if you typed it, if you copy-pasted it or something else. None of them need to analyze stuff you’ve typed, deleted and never sent.
Keystroke patterns and rhythms is above and beyond, though. That’s not remotely necessary and the kind of thing that can only be used to track an individual across multiple platforms and attempts at anonymity. I don’t know how effective it is at that, but that is the sole purpose unless maybe they are training a better autocorrect tool and think that would be helpful.
At any rate, that’s the point where I noped out. They are completely honest about putting every effort into identifying users and associating them with real identity. Such a system would be quite capable of de-anonymizing marketing profiles, health data, etc. by correlating vast amounts of data.
Can someone explain this? Keyloggers???
This is true for the deep seek app, not the published network.
I wouldn’t necessarily call it key logging but all these services are going to store anything you search.
People in Europe are so paranoid when it comes to Chinese AI, but they completely ignore what ChatGPT does with their data.
“B-b-but look, they are doing it too!”
Yes, and we hate them, too. What’s your point?
Damn it we need Private-R1 now

Quintessential does not mean “really essential”, and does not make sense in this context.
You can’t really be quintessential “for” something; only quintessential of something.

Whose ToS is this?
DeepSeek.
So the Open-R1 wouldn’t be doing this?
Fuuuuck that.
