Are people really this nonchalant about giving away their private whatsapp conversations to the likes of Anthropic and Openai?

This can be used locally, no?

And you typically use them for business, not on private accounts.

Am I correct in guessing that this is a ToS violation and could lead to getting blocked?

You are right that this is a consideration and risk. But it can make your life much easier. The reality is that these tool are available now. This is in fact not the first one like this. It can make the work of small businesses or clubs more more efficient.

...with the risk of getting banned, you can't reasonably use this for anything 'important'.

In order to make my life easier, it probably needs to be doing important stuff.

You can't hide behind 'other apps are doing it too', if my 'important business account' or whatever gets banned from using your tool, I'd be upset at you.

How do you guarantee your uptime SLA if my account may get banned any second?

I'm much more concerned about the odds that this tool is vibe coded and will leak the conversations everywhere other than the LLM agent I've already vetted.
