mccOne thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
If you describe a situation and OpenAI finds for you an existing image, you know what image database the image came from, and you know whether you're allowed to use it, and you know you're committing a crime, and OpenAI wants to relieve you of this final burden.
margot@mcc makes sense, the former sounds like an actual business model, not a way to accumulate so much wealth you can use it to grasp the levers of power
Olivier Galibert@mcc not sure. LLM are very bad at keeping information on their sources it seems
@galibert they'd have to have trained it to do something different than they in fact trained it to do

CubeOfCheese@mcc oh that's a really interesting perspective
OpenAI
We commit crimes so you don't have to
