Comment on Project Analyzing Human Language Usage Shuts Down Because ‘Generative AI Has Polluted the Data’
SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 1 month agoImagine being an author whose sole income is writing books.
Here comes an AI that stole your work and is asked by a customer of OpenAI to summarise your books. It does so perfectly and the issuer is able to use your results freely, since they think it’s AI generated and doesn’t require attribution.
You receive nothing in return.
Good luck making a living.

This is such a nothing argument. If all you’re talking about is a summary of a book, people have been able to get that long before AI. I can go to a wikipedia entry right now of any book and look at a plot summary. The author does not get paid for me looking at the summary on Wikipedia. There are numerous other sites where you can find summaries of books. And if you’re asking an AI for a summary of a specific book by a specific author, what attribution would you like to see? The user already knows the source because they’re specifically asking for a summary of that source.
A bigger concern would be the AI reproducing your works and using them in responses.
