Which of the following sounds more reasonable?

  • I shouldn’t have to pay for the content that I use to tune my LLM model and algorithm.

  • We shouldn’t have to pay for the content we use to train and teach an AI.

By calling it AI, the corporations are able to advocate for a position that’s blatantly pro corporate and anti writer/artist, and trick people into supporting it under the guise of a technological development.

    I think you are likely right, but it’s more general than just about training costs. The term “AI” carries a ton of baggage, both good and bad.

    To some extent, I think we also keep pushing back the boundary of what we consider “intelligence” as we learn more and better understand what we’re creating. I wonder if every future tech generation will continue this cycle until/unless humanity actually does create a general artificial intelligence–every iteration getting slightly closer but still falling short of “true” AI, then being looked at as a disappointment and not worthy of the term anymore. Rinse and repeat.
