Comment on Terraforming Mars Publisher Calls AI "Too Powerful" Not to Use

"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.

    Of course not. But "ethical" is a matter of subjective debate. You say X is unethical, I say X is ethical, and ultimately there's no way to tell who's "right."
    
    Law's different, the whole point of it is to have a system that sorts these things out.

    So it's not currently illegal to train AIs like this? That's been my point this whole time. It's a different thing from the things that are currently illegal (such as "theft").
