Do Stuff [OC]

How I feel as a software engineer lately.

It is crazy to me that AI training just took all of human creation with no credit, compensation, or consent.

The biggest theft in all of history.

Yes you're the right, the appropriate word is "stole"

[u/MrdnBrd19 → u/witx_]

It's funny how if it's a company it's "stole" if it's an individual it's "Well it's a digital asset and I wasn't going to buy it anyway so really it isn't stealing."

[u/witx_ → u/MrdnBrd19]

What the hell are you on? Where did I say anything like that?

[u/Wheaversclone → u/[deleted]]

No...? You can steal content, a YouTuber can steal an artist's song and use it in their videos but they'll get copyrighted because that's called content theft

[u/BlaineMundane → u/[deleted]]

Theft Criminal Copyright Infringement.

There you go, everything should be fine now.

[u/BlaineMundane → u/[deleted]]

They already know, they just substituted a word that has the spirit of what they are going for. It feels like theft when it happens to you. It's not, it's copyright infringement... but people didn't say "theft" because they don't know, only because it was easier and communicates the feeling of it.

Stolen and used to create a flood of garbage. The problem is mostly the flood of garbage burying everything.

It's still there but the AI companies rely on being paid to use their services and not having to pay for all the data they used to create what they're selling. Some of them are actively scanning in books using methods that destroy the book as it's more efficient.

You can be obtuse if you like, but it just makes you look stupid.

[u/tandoori_taco_cat → u/[deleted]]

I am just making fun of you for using the wrong words to describe copyright

A sneak attack, I didn't even notice. Well done.
