It bothers me when people and organizations back the "stealing content to train 'AI' is fair use" argument. To me, it seems pretty clearly *not* fair use. But these orgs frequently back their positions with something along the lines of "But AI can be a positive, ethical force, we have to be able to create ethical AI".

I don't have a problem acknowledging that ethical uses of "AI" are possible.

I have a problem with "AI" backers not acknowledging that the only people funding "AI" have no interest in ethical uses of it.
