"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's mental. The terms and conditions of some AI music generators will make people pay for a "license" to use the output for example for commercial purposes. They themselves of course claim "fair use" and steal all the music out there to train their models. I think some companies now don't claim ownership any more, for images and video snippets. And of course AI output isn't copyright-able in the first place.
The companies will occasionally use their trademarks, intellectual property or copyright against people. Of course those rules don't apply the other way around. It's completely fine their product draws all Disney princesses, comic and anime characters and reproduces half of Harry Potter. But beware someone names something with "Claude" in the name. Of course Google follows the same logic with this.
And then my homepage gets hammered with their stupid AI crawlers, but I have to abide by the terms and conditions of their services...
Being pro-copyright is giving the keys to record companies though. They would be the only ones with a "legal" model. Udio got bought by universal not too long ago but as long as laws aren't rewritten for the benefit of mega corps and copyright juggernauts, open source will ruin all the shenanigans they are trying to pull.
It's the same for all the text models. Open source is destroying openais business model. They need laws that restrict what you can train on so they can buy themselves a monopoly.
