Fuck AI

Wow. You're accusing me of using Plagiarism while keeping Plagiarism secret, and then continue to demolish my argument. What an impressive display of strawmanship. Which is, by the way, the evil cousin to plagiarism lol

But all kidding aside, if you're going to argue laws and legality this is very boring, because it depends on the country and solely on who has the most money and power to buy and sell those laws. Your argument might be valid or not depending on me being in a country with those laws or in international waters. Or having enough money to buy lobbyists to change those laws.

Personally I think a discussion about this has to be about ethics, about right and wrong. And fan fiction is clearly wrong because it steals hypothetical profits from hypothetical future monetization of an publishers commissioned work. How could one do that to the innocent shareholders?

I believe the only solution would be something like Choam company that manages all the intellectual property of the world and the technofeudalists can gain stakes. Then they can sell AI training data to AI companies as long as they comply with the relevant regulations. Like clearly AI mustn't be used by child molesters or terrorist scum. Only this will guarantee security and prosperity.
