what confuses me a lot about america is how a lot of people will defend the AI's "right" to steal training data to learn (education)

when there's millions of students out there going into life long debt to go to collage, and none of the same americans are fighting for their right to learn for free

1st, I'm not Murrican, I'm German. 2nd the right to free education is one of the most important human right and the entire world is paying the price right now for neglecting this right over the past decades 3rd AI is here to stay. It's far to impactfull as a technology. Whether we like it or not. So we either create an Environment where it can thrive within certain rules or we watch as others use it to completely overtake us.

ok? and i'm polish, i was talking about americans.

AI is not just ethically dubious, it'd also outright harmful for the already strained environment we live in. If AI stays - it won't be here for long, mostly because there won't be anoyone to ask it to generate giant hentai tits anymore

I am only critical that those models are in the hand of corporations who try to profit from it. Copyrights are mainly a tool to be wielded by the powerful: see Sony trying to disconnect ISP accounts en masse or media giants suing people into oblivion, Nintendo fucking over their fanbase again and again and so on.

The datasets should belong to an UN organisation like UNESCO, corporations/NGOs/people should be able to licence them to build their models (ev. with "community models" provided free for personal use), and the licence fees should be used to subsidize culture. This plus an UBI would make sure that artists don't have to starve, corporations can use them to try to make a profit, and everyone else can use them to create for their own or their communities use. Artists that don't want to go into the datasets have that right too, but also won't have access to that financial pool (this shouldn't be the only pool).

Fuck copyrights.
