Lots of people on Lemmy really dislike AI’s current implementations and use cases.

I’m trying to understand what people would want to be happening right now.

Destroy gen AI? Implement laws? Hoping all companies use it for altruistic purposes to help all of mankind?

Thanks for the discourse. Please keep it civil, but happy to be your punching bag.

They have to pay for every copyrighted material used in the entire models whenever the AI is queried.

They are only allowed to use data that people opt into providing.

I would make a case for creation of datasets by a international institution like the UNESCO. The used data would be representative for world culture, and creation of the datasets would have to be sponsored by whoever wants to create models out of it, so that licencing fees can be paid to creators. If you wanted to make your mark on global culture, you would have an incentive to offer training data to UNESCO.

I know, that would be idealistic and fair to everyone. No way this would fly in our age.

This definitely relates to moral concerns. Are there other examples like this of a company that is allowed to profit off of other people’s content without paying or citing them?

There's no way that's even feasible. Instead, AI models trained on pubically available data should be considered part of the public domain. So, any images that anyone can go and look at without a barrier in the way, would be fair game, but the model would be owned by the public.

no way that's even possible

Oh no... Anyway

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Its only not feasible because it would kill AIs.

Large models have to steal everything from everyone to be baseline viable

There's no way that's even feasible.

It's totally feasible, just very expensive.

Either copyright doesn't exist in its current form or AI companies don't.

What about models folks run at home?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I think if you’re not making money off the model and its content, then you’re good.

Careful, that might require a nuanced discussion that reveals the inherent evil of capitalism and neoliberalism. Better off just ensuring that wealthy corporations can monopolize the technology and abuse artists by paying them next-to-nothing for their stolen work rather than nothing at all.
