Nobody cares if you are “playing” with AI. The problem is companies like OpenAI stealing people’s work for training, and stealing their business using that stolen work for profit. Fair use stops at commercial interest and AI is nothing but commercial interest. It’s a layer cake of theft and unfair competition.
Don't care, of all the problems in the world. You're all making shit up to be mad about. Everybody gave their stuff up with or without AI. People were always scraping data and allowing it to be locked awa. Information brokers are not new. They have always sold our data. Nothing has changed.
I'm not bending over backwards to give a shit for people who have slept to the point that we arrived here with these issues, and now that we finally have something cool they're up in arms because they think their stupid Garfield knockoff comic is the core competent to making AI powerfully profitable. I'd all for removing every content creator from the Internet. Scrub the whole fucking thing. They're parasites
Barking up the wrong tree?
There is no openAI without content creators. It's a derivative tool, so if some new tool/system comes out it's not gonna know jack shit without the training data.
Now if your beef is with the content platforms, I completely understand that, but saying content creators should be removed, seems a bit myopic
I fully believe we lost the Internet due to content creators. Once PewDiePie made that first million it was all over. That moment is the point in our timeline where we veered into a very dark timeline instead of the good one. The other point was the Hanging Chad
