Not good for business

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Put a YOLO object detection training script on your PC. Boom! All my NAS is for training AI.
Like, I know that's not how laws work. Laws work to protect rich corporations and profits. But that's the logic we got here.
I would like to see someone unrelated to one of those big companies use that defense, just to see what happens..
The same company went to court claiming that "GPT" (Generative Pre-trained Transformer, the generic term for the type of LLM most AI chatbots are) is a trademark that no one else can use, because their platform has it in the name.
That's like if Burger King were to say "burger" is their company's trademark, so no one else is allowed to call their meat patty sandwiches "burgers."
Meanwhile, tech companies (including OpenAI) are pirating data to use to train their models, with the explicit intention of generating profit from them, and pretending they have an inalienable right to do so.
They're ingesting archives full of stolen IP, and raising a fuss about three letters...
Yeah. Unfortunately laws are written to protect companies and ensure those same companies can use the same law to punish individuals
This isn't just seen in the laws. This kind of thing is happening within every perspective imaginable. One example is language, as certain words or quotes are purposly stripped off their original meaning to primarily deceive and fearmonger the people.
