Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

People talk about OpenAI as if its some utopian saviour that's going to revolutionise society. When in reality its a large corporation flooding the internet with terrible low-quality content using machine learning models that have existed for years. And the fields it is "automating" are creative ones that specifically require a human touch, like art and writing. Language learning models and image generation isn't going to improve anything. They're not "AI" and they never will be. Hopefully when AI does exist and does start automating everything we'll have a better economic system though :D

"Massive Trouble"

Step 1 - Scrape everyone's data to make your LLM and make a high profile deal worth $10B

Step 2 - Get sued by everyone whose data you scraped

Step 3 - Settle and everyone in the class will be eligible for $5 credit using ChatGPT-4

Step 4 - Bask in the influx of new data

Step 5 - Profit

Good. Technology always makes strides before the law can catch up. The issue with this is that multi million dollar companies use these gaps in the law to get away with legally gray and morally black actions all in the name of profits.

Edit: This video is the best way to educate yourself on why ai art and writing is bad when it steals from people like most ai programs currently do. I know it's long, but it's broken up into chapters if you can't watch the whole thing.

It’s wild to see people in the piracy community of all places have an issue with someone benefiting from data they got online for free.

Piracy isn't stealing and neither is this.
