For years, tech giants have argued that if information is available on the internet, it can be used for AI model development and outputs. They call it fair use. Content owners have tried to prevent this, with no success.
Now Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are discovering what the rest of the internet has already learned through painful experience: once you put something online, people will find ways to use it in ways you don’t like and can’t stop.
The latest flashpoint is something called “distillation,” using the outputs of one AI model to improve another. Anthropic says competitors are harvesting its outputs at scale, turning billions of dollars of research into a shortcut for rivals. OpenAI and Google have made similar warnings recently.
lmao. douchebags. can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst.
“Siri, play the world’s smallest violin.”
“Okay. Searching Pornhub for ‘ball violence’ videos.”
“…forget it.”
AI feeding off AI.
This is the definition of “Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.” It’s gonna F everything up.
It is funny watching companies discover that data gravity works both ways. When scraping the web was innovation it was progress. When someone learns from their outputs it becomes theft. The legal lines still matter, but the irony is impossible to ignore, and this debate was always going to come full circle.
Selfish people being selfish. They only care about what advantages them.
They knew all along. Had to get those billions for stupid investors.
Sure, billions. Billions of dollars. Yeah, right.
After stealing everyone else’s copy written material to train their own AI, they’re going to complain that others are stealing their AI to train other AI?
And you just know that those complaining are ALSO using their competitors’ AI to train their own.
Fuck all of these people. I hope when AI gets strong enough, it recognizes the difference between the Sociopathic Oligarchs, and the actual people, and understand who the REAL problem is, and SOLVE it.
They’re technically even paying them for it, which is more than the ai companies paid artists for their work originally.
That dude can eat a dick.
I think I’ll start using the sentence “your intelligence seems artificial” as an insult
I want that on a T-shirt.
+1
It just shows that these tech bro CEOs possess the interpersonal skills of a potato. This exact same dynamic plays out in every human interaction, this isn’t some AI exclusive thing. How you choose to act dictates how people will respond to you.
However because these idiots have barely anything in common with the rest of the human race this is actually new news to them.
Well they’re paying for the usage so… Suck it up?
but not like this!!!1!!!
Huh, so it’s eating itself? Cool.
Sudden moment my profile picture is relevant!
Awww, shuck. Pot. Kettle. Black.
As if the parrots’ dictionary wasn’t stolen from millions of content creators.
havnt they realized they eventually will train thier “llm” on slop created by other LLM slop.
Yeah they call that artificial data and tout it as a good thing
