The Writers’ Revolt Against A.I. Companies
To refine their popular technology, new artificial intelligence platforms like Chat-GPT are gobbling up the work of authors, poets, comedians and actors - without their consent.
Sheera Frenkel, a technology correspondent for The Times, explains why a rebellion is brewing.

This is so ironic considering how Hollywood authors have been re-writing the same stories for half a century now.
It seems like people have lost the narrative a bit on what successful writing is. It isn’t about creating a “reasonably close facsimile to human writing”. Of course, you judge something based on its own quality. From what I’ve seen, the product of AI has a certain awkward quality that is lacking in charm and is deserving of a human editor to fix it. My feeling is that it isn’t going to be a threat to talented writers in the near term
Why does the reporter say the data is there forever? The trained neural networks are not "out there", they live on OpenAI's database servers and can be manipulated like any other copyright-infringing data. The lawsuit could be resolved fairly simply: 1. Throw out current ChatGPT trained neural net database 2. Remove Sarah Silverman's work from the training data set 3. Train new ChatGPT Now, whether this is COSTLY for OpenAI is another question, which they probably should have considered before making this their business model.
this is like listening to 2 teenagers talking about what they think other people think about what they imagine other people think about things that other people think about things that other people think about ...
... this is KZread , why not show video or images ? ... if I wanted to listen to my radio I would do that ....
The AI companies know regulation will catch up with them sooner or later, which is why they released to the public. They are hoovering up as much data and prompts as possible before regulatory constraints. Government's need to put a stop to this immediately, rather than adopt a wait and see approach.
What's this talk about "hobbyists" who don't have copyright protection? As I understand it, if you wrote it, it's copyrighted.
Wah, imagine being a news writer that just exaggerates the news (like they all do)and crying about their articles as if it’s some sort of art being stolen.

That’s right
This feels a lot like "oh know, I put my stuff on the internet for everyone to see and then someone saw it" Isn't that the whole point of art? To inspire others to create things? If I go to a museum and see a bunch of paintings, am I not inspired in some way by them? Do I owe Rembrant money because his painting inspired me in some way? Does the first guy who wrote a SciFi book get credit for everyone after them?

To inspire does not mean "go ahead and COPY ME."

@@canyonroots What exactly am I manipulating? I am not trying to convince you of anything, I am just saying I don't see this the same way, and it seems a bit disingenuous to me to complain about something reading information that you put on the internet to be read and seen by the public at large.
why not actually post a video of people talking , this is so lazy . Show people talking and actual images etc. ... 🧐
