  You should select something: whether you like the current copyright system or not. You can’t do both.

    Corporations want the existing copyright system for their own products but simultaneously want to freely scrape data from everyone else.

      I see that as a copyright problem, not a specific LLM one.

        This issue is largely manifesting through AI scraping rjght now. Additionally, many intentionally ignore robots.txt. Currently, LLM scrapers are basically just bad actors on the internet. Courts have also ruled in favor of a number of AI companies when sued in the US, so it’s unlikely anything will change. Effectively, if you don’t like the status quo, stuff like this is one of your few options.

        This isn’t even mentioning of course whether we actually want these companies to improve their models before resolving the problems of energy consumption and potential displacement of human workers.

    Third thing: Point out obvious hypocrisy.

  Person: Says a thing

  Person 2, who disagrees with the thing: YOU’RE A BOOTLICKER!

  Super convincing. I’m sure you’re going to win people over to your position if you scream loud enough.

    oh no people who like the plagiarism and child porn machine won’t like me. I’m sure it’ll tell them to be very upset about this.

      Who said anything about plagiarism and child porn? I was talking about the people who have no ability to actually state or defend a position and seem to believe that insults and hot takes are some kind of substitution.

      Replying to a person with insults and nothing else is toxic and does nothing except make you look irrational and ignorant. As is inventing strawman positions rather than responding to a person’s point.

      This is true no matter who are are or what position that you’re taking on any subject.

        Apparently I didn’t make it clear before so: If you are defending AI slop I do not respect you as a person, nor do I place any value on your opinion.
