Okay, I'm dumb and need an explain it to me like I'm five about #AI because I haven't been paying enough attention and trying to search for this isn't working out for me....

This recent explosion of being mad about AI and concerned about ethics of how the info that trained it was sourced and consequences of it and what have you....

Are people mad about what a specific company has done? Are they just mad about the idea of AI in general? Is some AI good and some AI bad?

And like.... why is everybody mad about it NOW? Because if it's at the point where we're mad about it now... does that mean we've been headed down that path for awhile now and nobody was paying attention till just now? Did something get released recently and I just missed that part of the story?

@nikkiana the quick answer is that AI’s such as ChatGPT were trained on a lot of things, including people’s programming code. Now they’re finding that it will provide almost verbatim answers to other’s work when asked to solve a coding problem. These people don’t feel they gave permission for the work to be used this way. This is also occurring with the image AIs that were trained on existing artist’s copyrighted work without their permission.
