So you're completely kosher with AI it seems?

[–] namingthingsiseasy@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not a fan of AI personally, but the "copying others' work" argument never resonated with me. The internet makes copying data trivial - if you still get worked up over people using a technology that has been trivial since the '90s, well, I don't know what to tell you, but you're just not going to win that one. People are just going to keep doing it anyway and maybe it sucks, but there's nothing you can do about it.

The only reason file sharing is illegal today is because nobody bribed politicians to keep it legal.

Copyright is but one of the issues one could have with the planet-ruining, livelihood-stealing, brain-rotting, nadir-of-consumerism generative slop known as "AI".
