Comment on Terraforming Mars Publisher Calls AI "Too Powerful" Not to Use
circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year agoNo, they don’t agree that using data without consent is a bad thing.
If this developer doesn’t mind taking data without consent, I hope they don’t have an issue with people pirating their game. That’s a slippery slope if I ever saw one.

"Slippery slope" is also a fallacy, you realize. Training an AI and copying a game are two different things and it's entirely reasonable to hold the position that one is ok and the other is not.

You’re missing the point. Both are using data (work of the dev on a game, work of an artist on art) without consent.

I'm not missing the point. Just because they're both "using data without consent" doesn't mean they're the same thing. Playing baseball and smashing someone's car both involve swinging a bat but that's where the similarity ends.
There are many ways that you can "use data without consent" that are perfectly legal.

Legal does not necessarily equate to ethical. And the law will eventually change (I think) to mitigate some of these shortcomings that AI training has highlighted.
