A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

ChatGPT is not ‘artificial intelligence.’ It’s theft. (web.archive.org)

Each of the tokens programs like ChatGPT are trained on and informed by represents a tiny, tiny piece of material that someone else created. And those authors are not credited for it, paid for it or asked permission for its use. In a sense, these machine-learning bots are actually the most advanced form of a chop shop: They use material without their creators' permission, cut itl into parts so small that no one can trace them and then repurpose them to form new products.

"intellectual property" is a problematic concept

That's true. Recently I read this interview at The Markup. I'm not a lawyer, but I think this expert is right that we need to redefine what we understand by copyright as we are dealing here with a completely new tech with the potential to profoundly shape our society.
