Totally bitchmade, as usual.

And throw away the key.

A) Not true. Many have been training models using various online data that that doesn't belong to them, has not been licensed, and has been used without informed consent of the rights holders.

B) Terrible comparison. Music sampling is a grey area that is much more complex and dubious than you're suggesting. There are instances in which sampling has been considered fair use, but outside of that there are strict laws around sampling. Finally, human music creation and sampling have very little in common with generative AI.

AI is here to stay. But the free ride of scraping every piece of information in human history without even a basic regard towards intellectual property or personality rights is unsustainable, unethical, and nowhere near the threshold for what can be considered fair use.

Once people start needing to own or license their training data sets the technology will be just fine, but costs will rise dramatically and the VC investment bubble is going to pop bigtime.

They're gonna be in even bigger trouble when it's determined that AI training, especially for content generation, is not fair use and they have to pay each and every person whose data they've used.

If you're having severe back pain (or any unusual or severe symptom) you're better off going to a doctor as soon as possible. First, severe pain is never something that you should just live with, and it may be able to be treated. Second, it's possible that whatever is causing your severe pain could lead to worse problems or be a symptom of something serious. (I don't mean to scare you, but it's important to rule things like that out sooner rather than later.)

And anyone who needs to hear this hasn't been listening.

I'm not saying it's "special". Hypocritical, counterintuitive, ironic, sure...

What I'm saying is that Trump represents the very antithesis of what Christianity preaches. He is a very high-profile and public embodiment of their "seven deadly sins". Which, to me at least, is very anti-christ-like. I'm not sure why you need that spelled out...

Just think about how many of the seven deadly sins (pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth) Trump embodies. Like... fuckin' all of them?

No shit. Trump is only loyal to himself and expects the same from others. He and his cult of followers don't give a single shit about the Republican Party.

A combination of people moving to remote work, office property values taking, and general mismanagement.

How is it different this time?

Mechanical inventions of the past were invented, designed and implemented by people who had a unique idea for how to better accomplish some task. If part(s) of their invention was already patented by someone else, then they would be required to either license that patent or find another novel approach.

Machine learning AI doesn't work that way. In order to produce any result (let alone a good one) it must be "trained" on a dataset of other people's works, or peoples faces, or whatever (depending on the desired result). All i ask is that people (artists, writers, musicians, etc) are fairly and regularly compensated when their copyrighted work is used to train AI.

Anything else is exploitation on an industrial scale.

AI people just love to disingenuously claim that anybody who criticizes AI "fears" the technology. This is their way of dismissing all critics or skeptics as luddites, and is usefully based entirely on their desire to profit somehow off of the trend.

Artists don't "fear" AI... They simply want big tech billionaires to stop stealing their copyrighted art works or other intellectual property in the hopes of generating infinite junk "content".

If you want artists to embrace AI, then you'd better be willing to stay paying them to license their artwork for AI training.
