Honestly the most fair take iv ever heard.
Hate or love AI it's here it's staying. The pandoras box is open.
Hate or love how it's trained, the fundamental truth is it's here and it's staying.
This isn't the first or the last time a tool or technique will be built off theft, slave labor or mass murder and atrocities to just name a few awful things that have progressed us forward.
All that matters going forward is we do what we have always done. Socially agree to manage and regulate it. Push for laws and legal regulations to be put into place to protect the weakest and vulnerable.
Then to the best of our ability use the new tool to improve our lives, others lives, create new art and hobbies, and find a place for the tool.
Every tool in all of History has had some good come from its creation. So if people find a way to make stories, art, music or other creations using it. And they enjoy it, then that's all that matters. If others also enjoy it then there's no reason to tell people to not share.
Massive models with their data centers are a step too fair at the moment and likey always will be. But locally ran models are a fun toy and a fun tool.
So if someone makes an ai book, is clear and honest it's an ai book, then wether or not it's well written or not. If it's enjoyable or not. Is up to the consumer of the work.
Its not like ai can't create neat things.
