You think that the internet needs more AI?

All you will get from this will me more bots, advertising in every place for whichever brand paid the most. It's all about ads. Just like TV shows, the ads will be integrated to the content and be indistinguishable from the original content.

A place like this one will be treasured as a great thing from the past. It is really what you want?

    Honestly? A little bit, yeah. More automated tools with greater function will help as long as we can moderate their use.

    My real concern is more related to the fact that this will probably lead to a massive crackdown on sources and shadow libraries that have been used as training data for AIs. If this goes through, I see a lot of ML/AI/bots being forced into an audit, and whenever "potentially infringing" content is found, they won't just remove it, there will be an aggressive push against the shadow library hosting it.

    You want more ads and more bots?

    This is reddit, this is where you are coming from.

    You seem to have missed the vast majority of my point, so I'll ask this directly - do you, or do you not, support the continued existence of shadow libraries?

    I couldn't care less about the existence of shadow libraries. What is this attempt at pushing buzz names? Once the the data is out it is out.

    She is right to bring the lawyers to the party, this is when the gafam fall, they care about laws. If they didn't then they wouldn't hire a legal department the size of a small african nation.

    Hitting the AI devs a few time with massive fees for copyright infringement should cool down their enthusiasm and the party should tune down one notch or two. It's all about money: when the income of ad money is lower than the outcome of fees money then the calm should be restored.
