Electronic Frontier Foundation"They're going full steam ahead to figure out how to wring a profit out of this stuff," EFF’s Cooper Quintin told @Bbcworld. "There are countless ways to abuse this." https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260218-i-hacked-chatgpt-and-googles-ai-and-it-only-took-20-minutes

Sepia Fan»Look for follow-up information. Is the AI is citing sources? How many? Who wrote them?
Most importantly, consider the confidence problem. AI tools deliver lies with the same authoritative tone as facts. In the past, search engines forced you to evaluate information yourself. Now, AI wants to do it for you. Don't let your critical thinking slip away.«
Of what use is AI here at all? Just another distraction like ads…
vy@eff @Bbcworld Why is EFF arguing that AI theft of copyrighted works is "fair use"?
If you understand the technology even a little bit, you will see that it is textbook for derived works. You can even sometimes prompt AIs to spit out the original work once they have copied it into their internal database.

The Servitor@TheServitor @eff @Bbcworld Of course they do.
Maybe you are mixing up the generic term "database" with DBMS.
A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system.

Cory Doctorow brings up some good points about AI and copyright in this post https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/19/gander-sauce/#just-because-youre-on-their-side-it-doesnt-mean-theyre-on-your-side
But at least works generated by AI can't be copyrighted.
@foggy_cornwater @TheServitor @eff @Bbcworld He's not wrong about everything there, but the threat to authors is that their copyrighted work, for which they get some fee, will be digested by some AI which will then providing customer of the AI with essentially the same work and derivative works without paying the author.
@vy @TheServitor @eff @Bbcworld
Yes, I know what you mean and that sucks. The issue of plagiarism isn't new but now with LLMs it can happen at a much bigger and more instant scale.
I don't know what a safe solution for this could be in the post-AI world. Not saying there can't be one (or more) in whatever capacity, /I/ just don't know. It's like the digital Wild West.
@foggy_cornwater @TheServitor @eff @Bbcworld Which brings me back to my question of why @eff is claiming that AI plagiarizing code and text is "fair use".
