Stephen King: My Books Were Used to Train AI::One prominent author responds to the revelation that his writing is being used to coach artificial intelligence.
Yes, and all of modern fantasy is heavily influenced by Tolkien’s writing, who in turn took inspiration from old legends like Beowulf.
As if human artists and writers are blind to anything ever created.
Humans with imperfect memories being influenced by a work <> AI language models being trained on a work.
We need an AI with all human knowledge, or various with different specializations. But those AIs must not be in the hands of companies.
if you think companies are going to misuse and abuse ai, just wait until we find out how the man is using them.
AI doesn’t currently have any knowledge of facts. It just knows patterns.
That doesn’t bode well for humanity.
Now that might give an AI scary ideas…
I mean, yeah, duh. Just ask any of them to write a paragraph “in the style of INSERT AUTHOR”.
If it can, then it was trained on that author. I’m not sure how that’s a problem though.
Does he also have a problem with people that were changed by his books?
