No, the goal posts of “AI is evil and should be fought until <insert new criteria here> are resolved.”
The question of whether training an AI even violates copyright in the first place is still unanswered, BTW, the various court cases addressing it are still in progress. This current target is about “ethics”, which are vague enough that anyone can claim that they’re being violated without having to go to the hassle of proving it.
AGI is scary because it can’t be aligned with human values, seemingly leading to a Universal Paperclips/Nick Bostrom style scenario. The AI we have today is a tool, that seems on the whole beneficial.
The only argument against it that I think is valid is that it shouldn’t be outputting copyrighted content, which seems like a pretty easy problem to solve but I’m no expert. If YouTube can do it with the volume of data they work with, it can’t be that hard to do it with text and pictures.
But the idea that an AI model just looking at a picture is somehow stealing is just absurd to me.
I wonder where the goalposts will shift to next.
The goal posts of … respecting basic copyright?
