Also one of the social media companies is owned by a weird guy who also owns a car company so… there may be some competing interests there

And let us never forget: ChatGPT was built on theft. Millions of people had their creativity, work and thoughts stolen. They were not asked for consent. They were not compensated. Some of the work contained in the data set is certainly private and was not intended for public use.

So, let’s review:

1. It robs you of learning a skill.

2. It robs everyone who’s work was stolen to create it.

3. It robs the planet of precious resources.

4. And it leads to an undervaluing of written work in general because “I can just get a computer to do it for free”. No you can’t. If you could do that than no data set would have been needed. All the computer is doing is taking the work of PEOPLE putting it in a blender and serving it back to you. It’s people with extra steps, but because you stole from the people in the first place you now feel you don’t need to pay or credit them.

Seriously, fuck “artificial intelligence”. You’re not an old person for seeing a scam for what it is.
