Would I get mad if someone read my blog, learned things, and then wrote their own blog using some of these ideas? No.

- palata 3y agoBut that someone won't read your blog anymore, they will read a modified version on some AI frontend. Maybe modified in a way that alters your meaning. So not only you won't get any kind of attribution ("look how clever the AI is, it just learned the world and explained this to me"), but possibly your point won't get through the way you intended it.
- Gigachad 3y agoWhat some LLM spits out is not my post anymore. My post is still correct and as intended. Someone could read my post and retell their own version at the pub, that fine, it's their version.
- palata 3y agoBut the LLM won't say "please be careful, this is a modified version of Gigachad's post that you can read at <link>", will it? Don't you see a difference between 1) a human reading your blog post, understanding it, making their own opinion, and then sharing it under their name and 2) a machine taking your blog post as an input and distributing a modified version of it? Let's take two examples: First example: I create a blog that copy-pastes your posts to the word, but I don't give any kind of attribution, and I get money from it. Would you be fine with that, or would you consider that I should not be able to do it, because I am basically selling your copyrighted work without authorization? Second example: I do exactly the same as above, but I have a small script that will replace some words with synonyms. Is it now better than the previous example? Where do you put the limit? If the script is so good that you can't recognize your post anymore, then you find it okay? But that's still an automated script that just duplicates your blog and benefits from it, right?
