yes!

#mickeysoft must be made to pay for this gigantic and infinitely arrogant heist of free labour.

@quincy @programming_discussions

Some huge companies used to be so upset about harmless filesharing, torrents and such things, but now we see that they love plagiarism when they are the ones to benefit from it.

They are taking the work of others, throwing it into a copying/mixing machine and presenting the result as their own. What they are doing is just as despicable as more traditional plagiarism, they are just doing it in a more advanced way and calling it "intelligence". Gah.

That's a great idea; "My AI is capable of perfect replication of previous work."

@quincy @programming_discussions

@niclas And it's not even perfect, usually just imitated at a superficial level ... @eliasr @programming_discussions
