Or using the actual current definition of the word. It's like going on a rant about hunters when you get called a nimrod.
I'm also going to push back on pretending the current anti-ai movement is against capitalism when it's pro copyright. Their support is what big AI companies are using to create their monopoly.
This centuries luddites aren't tearing down machinery but helping build a walled garden.
Trying to guess others’ motivations is a good way to show your own biases.
I hate the copyright lobby, I just hate AI grifters even more.
I can only comment on the behavior I see. This is an online forum, I don't have a choice but to assume.
Regardless, most are very vocal about AI being theft, a line of thinking that directly benefits the copyright lobby and big AI. Big AI doesn't mind paying for the data if it gives them a monopoly.
The moment a chatbot does something mildly worrisome, like help draft a suicide letter, the conversation is filled with people calling for censorship, protection and regulation. Again, something that would directly benefit big AI.
I'm also assuming they are against both the copyright industry and AI in general, just that most people seem to say things that help the copyright lobby and big AI without knowing it.
