Exactly this. You don't need it. Nobody does.

Then what's the problem? Nobody needs it, nobody will use it, it will just die off.

Yeah not a realistic scenario. AI is immensely useful and if applied correctly will help humanity.

The question is how do you reign in the robber barons, who just want to use AI to maintain their status quo and extract more and more profit from the system.

> AI is immensely useful

Right up until you need to do something you can't plagiarize

> if applied correctly will help humanity.

It isn't and won't be. Its entire purpose is to plagiarize artists, writers, and programmers, and to slowly whittle away those professions as viable. When there are no engineers left, we'll go back to sticks and stones I guess.

AI output is obviously transformative and would be protected by fair use.

The argument is about whether the training data was stolen. (which it was)

Support continued development of AI in the open. Support use of local or small scale AI. Your usage, support, and attention matters.

Open source AI is even worse for copyright infringement lol. They have 0 filters.

Better the enemy you know than the one you do not. That false?

And how is it we know as much about closed models as we do about the open ones?
