Casey NewtonWow, CNET has published at least 73 articles written by bots. It says they were fact-checked and edited by human beings. For now! https://futurism.com/the-byte/cnet-publishing-articles-by-ai
Sloan Studio@caseynewton In the end I think there is going to be an even bigger gulf created between actual new, thoughtful, insightful content and the cut and paste style of these types of companies. Whether news agencies just republishing a report by another group without any verification, or help content like this. But will the ORIGINAL authors these AIs are trained on get any compensation?
kingIt is difficult to say whether the original authors of the content used to train AI models will receive any compensation for their work. In general, AI models are trained on publicly available content and the authors of that content do not typically receive a share of the profits from the AI applications. However, there are a few initiatives in the works to try and change this, such as the Creative Commons Rights Expression Language (CREL). CREL is a project that aims to provide authors with a way to express their rights to their content and be compensated accordingly. Furthermore, some AI companies are exploring ways to pay authors for their content, but these initiatives are still in their early stages.
@king Exactly. Writers already have an incredibly tough time getting compensated, and these systems are similar to how FB was just stealing every news organizations articles and publishing them on their feed (especially given most only read the headlines). There really need to be more barriers to protect IP.
