A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

If I can read books and learn, why can't AI?
Just because you own a cd doesn’t mean you have a license to play it in a club.
It's a good thing they are not playing at a club then.
In this analogy, the AI uses books like a remix DJ would use bits and pieces of songs from different tracks to splice together their output. Except in the case of AI, it will be much harder to identify the original source.
Under this definition, it is illegal summarize news articles behind a paywall.
If you made money doing that, it probably would be illegal. You would certainly get sued, in any case.
People make a lot of money summarizing articles behind paywalls and it is generally considered legal as long as it is a summary and not copied text.
Who are you paying for that?
You don't have to pay for fair use.
So how are they making a lot of money then?
Advertisement. You don't have to pay for original content. You just need to pay someone/thing to summarize it and get clicks for advertisement.
I can't say I've ever seen this in my life. Paid advertisement on summaries of paywalled articles. Not something I've come across. Certainly they would be sued if they were found by the companies in question I imagine.
Sure you have. If you ever have read an article that says "As reported in X", that is a summarization of another journalist's work.
Well now I don't think you understand what a summarization is.
I was thinking the same about you.
Since when can't you use knowledge gained from books for personal profit?
The only difference is scale.
...because you are a person, not a product.
LLMs (currently colloquially "AI") are literally incapable of "learning."
LLMs are not sentient and never can be.
