> People share even to their disadvantage.
Crucially, humans share with other humans. Sharing comes with feeling appreciated. Of course teaching someone my craft is to my disadvantage—I am literally creating competitors—but I enjoy doing it myself regardless because I enjoy feeling recognized and valued.
That stops being the case if the only thing that reads what you write is an LLM, which acts as a middle-man between you and people you’d like to help to whom it returns your content stripped of attribution (let alone pays you, even if it charges the users). There’s a fine line between sharing and being a ghost training data producer.
