Comedian and author Sarah Silverman, as well as authors Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey — are suing OpenAI and Meta each in a US District Court over dual claims of copyright infringement.
It’s very rare for me to want Facebook to win a lawsuit. It’s just as rare for me to want to see Sarah Silverman not succeed. But in this case, I think the Internet needs to see Facebook win.
You think that the internet needs more AI?
All you will get from this will me more bots, advertising in every place for whichever brand paid the most. It’s all about ads. Just like TV shows, the ads will be integrated to the content and be indistinguishable from the original content.
A place like this one will be treasured as a great thing from the past. It is really what you want?
Honestly? A little bit, yeah. More automated tools with greater function will help as long as we can moderate their use.
My real concern is more related to the fact that this will probably lead to a massive crackdown on sources and shadow libraries that have been used as training data for AIs. If this goes through, I see a lot of ML/AI/bots being forced into an audit, and whenever “potentially infringing” content is found, they won’t just remove it, there will be an aggressive push against the shadow library hosting it.
You want more ads and more bots?
