i think we should start calling AI what it is: "Corporate Piracy".
para$$$ites have paid data hoarders to scrape whole websites, digital libraries and archives filled to the brim with copyrighted work; so they can repackage all that knowledge as if it were the serendipitous labor of sentient ghostly robots.
it's bullshit.
if unpaid sampling is copyright infringement; then scraping our social media and blogs, and passing it as their own knowledge, has to be as well.
bitch better have my money
so my comments about AI have struck a chord.
am glad am not the only one feeling like AI is a bullshit term for what it comes down to three words the RIAA demanded Apple "take back" or suffer the class-action consequences of their members' wrath:
RIP.
MIX.
BURN.
but this time, the techbro oligarchy bought themselves a whole US government to look the other way when it comes to them doing the stealing.
cuz that's how capitalism works: theft of goods, theft of labor, theft of profits
btw my two favorite comments use the same "buzzword": #PLAGIARISM
from @bgrinter instead of #AI, call it PLAGIARISM-AS-A-SERVICE
from @RickRussell_CA we get "IT'S A PLAGIARISM ENGINE"
these are spot on. not because AI helps, for example, students plagiarize a midterm paper.
no, the corporations developing these AI engines are doing the plagiarizing.
fwiw: FB, Google, Twitter demanded #DMCA immunity because they are platforms & have no ownership of content as publishers.
what are they now?

The worst kind of plagiarizing. I tell my undergraduate students that for their essays and papers I am certainly not expecting them to come up with an original hypothesis and experiment. That would be expecting a lot from a college freshman. But I totally encourage them to read widely and bring the results of that reading to the paper -- with citations, of course. I have no problem with a freshman paper where every paragraph is built around something from an external reading.
Of course, our current AI reads widely, but loses the citations (or more weirdly simply makes them up). It can't even do Freshman level work.
Pointless aside, I once had a student plagiarize the opening paragraph of their paper by cutting and pasting an entire paragraph from Wikipedia. As if that is not the easiest thing to find using Google. The subject of the paper? Research Ethics. I kid you not.
