Keep an eye out for AI lackeys using the phrase “freedom to learn” in an attempt to normalize plagiarism, copyright violation, and theft of labor

When I'm reading how everyone's turning this crap off their iPhones or just not buying the latest versions because AI is included, I think the finish line pistol in the "AI Race" was shot into the air sometime ago.

Is it freedom to learn if I steal the AI myself and charge people to use it? I just want to learn.

The freedom to learn defence didn't work when I shoplifted all those textbooks

Also that AI is over without stealing IP is just a terrible legal argument. You have to convince ultimately SCOTUS, famously not young, not super into tech, that tech they cannot articulate the need for is more important than all the protections in place.

It can only convince people who are already convinced.

Is "finish line pistol" an AI generated phrase?

Jeezuuuuus, they are so Orwellian!

And they’ll use the framing of writers, artists, and other disciplines absorbing information over time as the reason. “Well aren’t you stealing from Akira Toriyama when you draw Goku? Or Kishimoto when you draw Naruto? Our tool is doing the same thing you are.”

That take makes me vehemently angry. Thank you for highlighting it.

realryanwhorton.bsky.social•10 days ago

You’re welcome for highlighting it. Sorry for the anger. I’ve seen one or two try a version of this already. So I’m pretty much just prepping for that angle.

It's like they don't understand the difference between appreciation, inspiration, and theft.

I hope the “everything is a remix” people from 15yrs ago are waking up.

The difference is both incredibly obvious and something only a human being could understand. Which leaves out ai, and also the douchebags that shill for it.

A lot of this language sounds a lot like the BS the studios fed the guilds at the advent of streaming.

If they need everything for free, it tells me they are not on a path to profitability

‘Our business model depends on being able to steal all our raw materials’ is not generally the sign of a successful company, no

davebrowne.bsky.social•10 days ago

I was wondering when they'd try something like that. I expected something around trying to get AI declared a legal person, like a corporation, so plagiarism could be called learning.
Seems they're not even going that far.

Are we still “democratising creativity”? 💩

citrusmode.bsky.social•10 days ago

They talk about "freedom to learn" as if that were a problem in the first place thanks to the internet I've never seen so much freedom to learn new things as before

citrusmode.bsky.social•10 days ago

they're doing now the exact opposite now
not only they're responsible of making many people unemployed, we also gonna have to triple check most information we get because of AI polluting data with so much content slop
