take that one

starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.

And it’s going to happen with AI.

There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.

AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.

it has NOTHING to do with art. we don't need AI in art.

aside from that, ai chatbots are extremely unregulated and predatory (see article linked).

DO NOT engage with AI chatbots : especially if you are young. AI chatbots are profit driven software designed to prey on human vulnerabilities, AKA our need to feel connected and understood.
