Bad faith?
That is an amazing claim coming from somebody who is literally arguing in bad faith.
You already have a predisposition and bias against AI.
You read my comment and immediately thought, "He's defending AI because he's calling me out on my bullcrap." I'm actually not. I've been making two points: you don't know how AI functions, and you don't know what copyright is.
AI models don't use their training data to reproduce that training data verbatim. Therefore, the training process itself is not copyright infringement. Using publicly available material to train AI is not illegal, nor is it inherently morally reprehensible.
If companies are stealing data to train their AI, then they are breaking the law and should be punished and prosecuted for it.
I do not support that in any way. I also do not support the construction of massive AI data centers. They're a blight on society.
You're upset because I called you out for being stupid. Instead of responding to my arguments, you called me a fart eater and threw around words like "sophistry."
And then you say I'm the one arguing in bad faith.
What a hypocrite.
