    I think they’re arguing that if I can look at the Wikipedia and tell you that an avalanche in Pakistan killed ten climbers, then AI should be allowed to as well.

    This is misleading and dishonest. Its not just looking up a single free information. Ai does more than that. Ai will not only scrape and copy the entire article, it will also scrape and copy the entirety of Wikipedia. There are licenses attacked to the Wikipedia article we have to follow to, if we scrape and use it for other purposes. It will also scrape the entire web. That is not the same as just looking up an Avalanche in Pakistan killed ten climbers.

      This is weirdly accusatory. I’m not sitting here in a black cape and stovepipe top hat, twirling my mustache.

      If this is the way we’re going to look at it then I guess we have to throw this technology out the window. It seems like a bad idea to do that though.

        BTW so you agree with me then, because the only solution you see here to throw it away. Because what I described is not hallucinated by me, this is how its operate. It was to correct you for your wrong example with looking up a single information from Wikipedia.

        we have to throw this technology out the window. It seems like a bad idea to do that though.

        Why? Besides that’s not possible in the near future, it could be made illegal and then suddenly the biggest companies (the driver behind it) would have to stop. This wouldn’t eliminate all Ai tools everywhere, so getting rid of it is probably not possible anymore.

        But that wasn’t my suggestion either. And we don’t have to throw it away, we have to comply. It needs to change.

          And this was my point from the very beginning. Using AI isn’t bad. The problems that people have with it has nothing to do with the technology itself.
