@ZachWeinersmith It’s little AI brian is gonna EXPLODE once it discovers that women can vote, and then it will be calmed by the continued existence of the pay gap.
@ZachWeinersmith I was thinking... What type of protection do provide all the fanfictions websites?
That's a recipe for the most horny AI ever, waiting to happen.
Update: Ao3's response to Sudowrites/AI scraping issue

Hello, Two weeks ago I posted about how [AI has been scraping and mining Ao3 for...

I'm not sure how much free time you want to spend on this, but let's just say the full controls stopping chatGPT from going horny on main are....not exactly ironclad.

Honestly you can get around pretty much every restriction, especially since it builds on itself within the conversation, so you can take it on a walk to get these things to reply in a certain way. And I got one version to just start spouting porn, basically.

I was bored, okay?

@Wildduck @ZachWeinersmith Fanfic is still under copyright of the author, because it's their creative content in a recorded form and it's a "transformative work". They just down own the characters and so are limited in how they can publish that work.

That's why there's the OTW (https://www.transformativeworks.org/) to protect fan works. Just because they don't own the characters, it doesn't mean that other people (or even the characters' owners) can ignore copyright.

Wait, not all Fan Fiction is erotic, right?

Let me check it....

Ohh....

@ZachWeinersmith I am so sick and tired of my BossBot quoting Beowulf and Shakespeare.

“A null pointer by any other name” does not help me…

…but it’s no worse than my last boss.

@ZachWeinersmith We can't blame Disney hanging onto Mickey Mouse for every problem... or can we?
@ZachWeinersmith on the other hand I look forward to seeing science generated in the style of Darwin or Jean-Henri Fabre.

The movie Metropolis is now in the public domain.
The writers and actors striking over AI use should be on the lookout for any of their kin who look or sound a bit robotic, as the film, television and streaming studio heads will undoubtedly have fed Metropolis into their AI and asked how it can break the strike.

@ZachWeinersmith Thank you for this, Zach. I'm bringing it to my AI team here at Horizons.

I only wish that OpenAI and their ilk would stop scraping copyrighted content.

However, as I shared on the @nytimes, OpenAI has definitely incorporated the entire text of at least one of my (copyright registered in 2010) books on meeting design into the ChatGPT database.

See the replies to my comment to see folks questions about copyright and my responses.

F.T.C. Is Investigating ChatGPT Maker

The agency sent OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, a letter this week over consumer harms and the company’s security practices.

@ZachWeinersmith I was wondering why my medicine recommendation engine was only perscribing cocaine, laudanum, and soda for every ailment.
@ZachWeinersmith lovecraftian horror monster (rogue AI that implements all of his racism)
@ZachWeinersmith Well, but this bot can design a really good steam engine, a pretty nice airship, or even an improved centrifugal governor! We can also ask it about the best routes from Königsberg to Constantinople...

@ZachWeinersmith Fuckity Dick-Balls is now my favorite reaction image of all time. Here, you’ve earned it.

@ZachWeinersmith

#ALT4you 5 panel cartoon drawn in a loose style, coloured.

Panel 1: two people coded as scientists because they're wearing white coats, one has glasses, the other busy at something that might be a terminal.

Scientist 1 says:"wait wait so we got sued by all those artists and writers because we scraped their words to train AI.

Scientist 2 responds: " Right"

Panel 2
Scientist 1: "So we're only able to train the new superintelligence on uncopyrighted material"
Scientist 2: "yep"

Panel 3
Scientist 1: "but almost all rights-free content is from over a century ago"
Scientist 2 (looks unexcited) "oh fuckity dickballs."

Panel 4
Huge, grey, blocky robot figure adjusting its tie: "Ladies no swearing or you'll never get a man. Go clean my office"

Panel 5, bigger than the other panels:
All three figures, shown from above.

Scientist 2: "This is going to be a problem, isn't it? "

Robot : "And now to implement world wide colonialism - the best form of government!"

@ZachWeinersmith @evilmicrowizard Thank you for this new addition to my “reaction pics to drop into online conversations” folder.
