It's just a reminder that anything you post on any of these platforms can and will be used for profit. It's just a matter of time until all your messages on Discord, Twitter etc. are scraped, fed into a model and sold back to you.

 @Orb2069 @felipe @ben This is something I've thought about ever since I started here. It's great that people here take their time to make the web better for disabled people. But unfortunately, high-quality image descriptions are a gift to AI companies training text-to-image models. There is no act of altruism these assholes will not exploit.  @ben Stack Overflow has already been monetizing your answers with ads for years. If βused for profitβ is your main complaint, youβre a little late. @mighty_orbot @ben @mighty_orbot @ben The argument isn't about profit, which is pretty clearly outlined. OpenAI's explicit and ultimate intent is to replace people and in the meantime it's spitting out garbage information.  @andrewfelix @mighty_orbot @ben @ben Why do people care if someone like me gets your excellent answer to a coding question by typing my error message into Google (forwarding to SO) or into ChatGPT? In neither situation were you getting paid. In both situations the middle man makes a buck. In both situations Iβm thankful you spent time helping me. Is it that with ChatGPT I donβt know who to thank? @hunterhacker @ben it's that chatgpt is fundamentally built off copyright infringement and theft. even if in this situation there's no profit being taken, in other situations there absolutely is. openai is fundamentally scummy, and it's good to push back if you can. @hunterhacker @ben with ChatGPT the answer gets turned into atoms and reconstructed, often with errors. It's not showing anyone's answer, it's showing a slop that approximates what it thinks looks most correct. You have no one to thank, no one to correct, and ChatGPT couldn't start to tell you where the answer came from even if it was 99% from one person. @nus @hunterhacker @ben for a bonus, it's also burning the planet to tell you that mess of a wrong answer too @hunterhacker @ben it's also just your own writing and you should be able to choose what happens to it. this forces users to contribute to training data even if they don't want to, you can't opt-out. @ben Isnβt that common knowledge? They are already as soon as they appear on for example Google Search.. |
