    If giant megacorporations can benefit by ignoring copyright, us mortals should be able to as well.

    Until then, you have the public domain to train on. If you don’t want AI to talk like the 1920s, you shouldn’t have extended copyright and robbed society of a robust public domain.

      Either we can now have full authority to do anything we want with copyright, or the companies have to have to abide the same rules the plebs and serfs have to and only take from media a century ago, or stuff that fell through the cracks like Night of the Living Dead.

      Copyright has always been a farce and a lie for the corporations, so it’s nothing new that its “Do as I say, not as I do.”

    If I had to pay tuition for education (buying text books, pay for classes and stuff), then you have to pay me to train your stupid AI using my materials.

    Sorry to say, but he’s right. For AI to truly flourish in the West, it needs access to all previously human made information and media.

      It has some great upsides. But those upsides can be trained on specific information that they pay for instead of training AI on people’s stuff who didn’t consent.

    This is exactly what social media companies have been doing for a while (it’s free, yes) they use your data to train their algorithms to squeeze more money out of people. They get a tangible and monetary benefit from our collective data. These AI companies want to train their AI on our hard work and then get monetary benefit off of it. How is this not seen as theft or even if they are not doing it just yet…how is it not seen as an attempt at theft?

    How come people (not the tech savvy) are unable to see how they are being exploited? These companies are not currently working towards any UBI bills or policies in governments that I am aware of. Since they want to take our work, and use it to get rich and their investors rich why do they think they are justified in using people’s work? It just seems so slime-y.

      Is that so? I don’t find it odd at all when the only thing LLMs are good at so far is losing people their jobs and lowering the quality of essentially everything they get shoved into.

      Yeah it’s crazy how intense the Lemmy hive mind is about some things. It’s basically a cult

      The world doesn’t allow us to disconnect tech and capitalism. Why should we be happy about the tech just for the techs sake? People aren’t adverse to the tech. They are against its use to further our exploitation.

    No, actually they’ve just finally admitted that they can’t improve them any further because there’s not enough training data in existence to squeeze any more demonizing returns out of.
