> But if a machine can do this over weeks or months and take my job away, sure I won't like it. You make a good point which often overlooked in the debate about training data. Machine Models operate on a scale widely different from human learners, they need not sleep, they can operate in a widely parallel fashion, and therefore need not curate their own "knowledge" into a niche. "Scale of action" (for lack of a better phrase) makes a big difference, for example quoting a passage from a book is fine, quoting five hundred passages from a book is not at all the same thing. Taking a few still frames of a Hollywood movie is one thing, screen-capping every single frame is very different.
