The Problem with AI-Generated Content
Many experts believe that AI is simply a tool for unauthorized plagiarism on a massive scale.
Seriously how is this surprising? We all know AI companies stole troves of data to train their models, why do you think they’ll stop? Have they faced consequences for the mass theft of copyrighted data?
Consequences for Original Creators
Website owners are paying to host their content, but they are not getting fair rewards.
The broader problem of original sources not being given credit in a way that rewards them remains. Websites owners are paying to host their content so that spiders can come and crawl them and index it into the AI and then if they’re lucky, they might get a citation, but otherwise there’s very little reward for being a provider of content.
Some argue that the situation is akin to a famous phrase:
Steal an apple and you’re a thief. Steal a kingdom and you’re a statesman.
