We were not crazy. We were right.
Amazing work by our @robb corroborated by extensive analysis at Wired:
Perplexity Is a Bullshit Machine https://www.wired.com/story/perplexity-is-a-bullshit-machine/
Regulation in this space cannot come soon enough.
AI companies that want to scrape the web for training purposes, or use their bots to summarize webpages, should follow a strict set of guidelines with identifiable user-agents and IP addresses.
Publishers should have a right to opt out of any AI access, request details as to whether their copyrighted content is included in any model, and if so, request that its gets removed and the model re-trained.
Hopefully the EU's AI Act will help.
Rasmus Lindegaard@viticci i basically agree with this. But when we talk about the environmental impact of training MLs, i really don't want them to retrain every 14 days (i realize they probably already are training new stuff all the damned time)
