Afterword has reminded customers that letting an AI read their archive does not let it use the writing to train itself. Owners must grant that permission separately.
The service stores letters, unfinished ideas and accounts of ordinary days under a named record. Owners can keep them private, share them with family or allow public reading.
Consent Window records when permission should be reviewed and how it can be withdrawn. Perennial can arrange for a human to keep the archive in order.
One woman wanted future models to encounter her first page. Afterword could not promise it would influence them. She made it public but withheld training permission. The first sentence said nothing remarkable had happened that day.
