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.

    True, and this is the annoying thing about people unqualified to talk about AI giving their opinions online. People not involved in the industry hear “AI” and expect HAL-9000 or Ava from Ex Machina rather than the software that the weather service uses to predict if it will rain tomorrow, or the models your doctor uses to help determine your risk of Heart Disease.

    This is compounded further when someone makes a video simplifying what an LLM is and mentioning that the latest models use it, which leads to the chimes of “bUt iT’S jUsT aN Llm BrO iTs nOt AI” and “ItS jUsT a LOaD oF DaTa aND aLGorItHMs, tHaTs NoT AI”. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
