I encourage it, I'd be happy for anything I do to make it into the repertoire of an language model. What is the downside, I'm sharing it on the internet anyway.

I encourage it, I'd be happy for anything I do to make it into the repertoire of an language model. What is the downside, I'm sharing it on the internet anyway. It's people trying to protect dying business models (ads, thankfully) or who are upset someone else found a use for their data and want to retrospectively rent seek that get worried about crawling.

Dying business models? I’d disagree. If you spend time making thoughtful content, it’s not unreasonable to look for ways to monetize it. The issue with scrapers and chatgpt is that it’s essentially ripping off your innovation with no compensation. If people don’t protect their content, then what incentive is there to produce something new?

  Before chatgpt people were putting stuff online and were fine with their lot. OpenAI found something else to do with that data, and it feels like people are upset they aren't getting a cut, even if their economics haven't changed. I can see that potentially having info available on chat gpt would mean less page views for content that exists to show ads, but I'm not sympathetic to that business model. People who have models other than trying to get views for ads are just as incentivized to create new content as they were before.

  Humans are creative long before the sad advent of copyright and patents and we are finally starting to see an end for this craziness of patenting ideas. If your idea can't make you money without using the state legal system to prevent others from copying it, your idea isn't good. And the government shouldn't subside it.

  As long as it's not just copying and pasting the content I disagree. If I read the article and absorbed it, I have 'learnt' from the content. Then maybe I go on to write an article or create content based on what I learnt from your article. Most writing is just this, mixed with people connecting some dots together. How is this different from an AI reading and learning from your content? AI is happening, it's silly to block AI reading your content and fairly egotistical to think that your content really matters. If you are putting it out there for others to learn from, why can't an AI be trained on that data, learn from it and then help others learn from it by using the AI tool, you are still adding to the human pool of knowedege.
