Whats the purpose of generative AI? Its not just to analyze, its to replicate and mass produce. We’re not talking about some software that is churning through medical data to figure out how to feed premature babies. Its that stupid AI web search answer that is just copy pasted from another website that may or may not have to source where it made its summary from. (usually from a hit that is on the first page of the search results that I’m going to click on anyways)

A person wanting to learn how to do something is different from an AI company wanting to feed its math problem more material to math all over.

Bill wants to learn how to fix a car because its useful to themself and others.

An AI company wanting its chatbot to be able to answer questions about fixing a car isn’t meant to help itself or others fix their car… its to increase the liklihood that investors will give the AI company more money.

They are not the same thing.

As it stands, trying to cite IP law is the best that can be done for people who aren’t transnational conglomerates with yearly revenues in the multiple billions of dollars.

Don’t go there unless you want violent communist revolution

Make fun of them for being a goober.

How many years has Russia been bogged down in Ukraine now?
