As I detailed in that Friendica post, GenAI is a scam, because its entire dataset is fraudulently obtained by mass plagiarism, and it runs like a Ponzi scheme in that it steals new data to augment the old data, like how Ponzi schemes steal new money to pay off their old marks.
GenAI is robbing Peter to pay Paul, but with data instead of money, and somehow people think this is OK, while Bernie Madoff got locked up until he died for orchestrating what was the largest Ponzi scheme in history at the time in '08; in 18 years we went from actively prosecuting fraudsters, to basically giving them a free pass to defraud as many people across as many industries as they want, as Sam Altman, who I view to be basically the modern-day Bernie Madoff, will probably never even see fines for his atrocities, let alone the inside of a prison cell.
We locked up Bernie Madoff until he died for running an actual Ponzi scheme in '08, and bankrupting a ton of people and organizations across all tax brackets in the process, but we’re letting Sam Altman get away clean with running the same type of fraud, but with data instead of money, people…
you’re the idiot defending AI numbnuts
Reading comprehension must be hard for you. I am sorry to hear you are unable to understand my points, have you tried sucking a bag of dicks?
your own fucking words moron. except it’s intellectual property, learn to spell.
you think theft from genuine humans, actual artists is fine, you’re supporting stealing from creators, you’re a fucking chode
most likely because you don’t possess an ounce of skill or sense in that empty head. so you’re down to steal it from actual creators.
First of all, it is not theft. You can’t just make up what words mean. This is exactly the bullshit argument corporate lawyers use to push their lies about copyright infringement.

Why are you using industry lies? As I said, there are plenty of reasons to hate AI. This is just not one of them.
Second, all art, science, and culture is iterative. As a singer, player of musical instruments, digital artist, coder, and writer of stories I have created a lot in my lifetime. I probably have more creativity in my pinky than you do in your whole body.
I have heavily borrowed from our culture for the songs I sing, the art I create, and the words I write. You cannot create art in a vacuum. All artists build off each other. All music uses the same hooks, melody, harmony, lyrics, etc.
If I remix a song that is somehow cheating but the person who created the song who borrowed everything is the “original” even though nothing is actually original. Did you know that many famous artists like the band Led Zeppelin just rewrote a bunch of old songs?
Considering you can’t even come up with a legitimate reason to dislike AI pretty much proves your lack of critical thought and creativity. You are literally just acting like a corporate shill at this point.
This is not even going into how corporations use copyright and IP to abuse people and our society as a whole by rent seeking and creating value from nothing.
Do you seriously think that artificial scarcity and rent seeking improves the lives of artists? Do you have any idea that the majority of major musicians don’t even own their own songs?
As I pointed out you seem to confuse art with commerce. Please educate yourself and stop the bullshit.
learn to punch up not down dweeb
you’re gonna steal happily from a bunch of artists - teaching your silly LLMs to take their very income from them. fuck you. you probably have more prompts than any actual art.
the idea that you equivocate the algorithmic blender to the way an actual artist works is depressing, you’re a sad fucking example of an artist, but honestly suspect you’re just a liar.
you punch down gleefully and claim it doesn’t matter because artists deserve it. get fucked.
You could give a shit about artists. You only care about the money. Well guess what, AI is all about the money.
Why do you think these AI companies aren’t getting sued out of existence? It is because that is what big money wants. AI companies have made a mockery out of Intellectual property.
I am not upset about that in the slightest. I have lots of good reasons not to like AI.
