Hot take: LLM technology is being purposefully framed as AI to avoid accountability
Hot take: LLM technology is being purposefully framed as AI to avoid accountability
Which of the following sounds more reasonable?
-
I shouldn't have to pay for the content that I use to tune my LLM model and algorithm.
-
We shouldn't have to pay for the content we use to train and teach an AI.
By calling it AI, the corporations are able to advocate for a position that's blatantly pro corporate and anti writer/artist, and trick people into supporting it under the guise of a technological development.
You're viewing a single thread.
I see it like this:
Our legal system has the concept of mechanical licensing. If your song exists, someone can demand the right to cover it and the law will favor them. The result of an LLM has less to do with your art that a cover of your song does.
There are plenty of cases of a cover eclipsing the original version of a song in popularity and yet I have never met a single person argue that we should get rid of the right to cover a song.
Sure, you have the legal right to cover someone else's song without asking permission first, but you still have to pay them royalties afterwards, at fair market rates.
