1 year agoThe problem I have with this view is that AI “reading” a book is not the same as you or I reading. It doesn’t actually learn it’s just predicting the most likely sequence of words to be a response to whatever prompt it receives. In that sense, the words are just data, not actual words. Given how valuable data is in this day and age, I think it makes perfect sense for OpenAI to have to either: only use public domain/authorized works, or pay the creators for their work.
Honestly I feel this so hard. I’m getting increasingly tired of the BS Microsoft is pulling with Windows but at the same time my primary use case is gaming. Gaming on Linux is getting better but I don’t want to do additional work to install and play my games or have any doubt about whether I can run a certain game. Windows, for all its flaws, does meet those requirements.
