What will happen in this case is that large content providers will get paid directly and smaller content providers will get rolled up into a licensing bag and get small indirect payouts. For example, we might see a model where people who's books have been used will get a pay out proportionate to the sales of the book (perhaps), so if your books sells just a few thousand copies expect $20 but if you sell millions expect $20k
LLM's will become more expensive and less attractive as money printers, this will screw with the business models of the direct provision folks like OpenAI, MS and Google, MS and Google will only shed tears for money spent while OpenAI will just not have as good an income stream until they think of something new.
- davedx 3y ago> large content providers will get paid directly I'm sure that's what they want, but I'm not sure that's what the outcome will be. What if they want to charge a prohibitive amount of money for their content?
- sgt101 3y agoDunno - but my guess is that the price will be what the market will bear... I think Spotify vs Napster is a good example, content creators in news (the Journalists) are already in a hard place (vs. successful rock stars preinternet) I think that the news providers are rather like the music lables.
- rvba 3y agoWhat will happen is that all will go to China and maaaybe some third world country, or run your own models from shady sources. So you will use a Chinese AI that spies on you, or you will use some shady service from a shady country (that will play cat and mouse like torrent sites).. or most likely you will run your own model when you are computer literate and no model if you are not. Actually most models are so lobotomized allready that probably better to run your own, as long as you have a good enough computer.
- sgt101 3y agoThis is an odd discussion as llms are really bad for authoritative information distribution, they are really untrustworthy! But, if that changes and they do start to be a reliable support as a general information assistant then I see things more like Spotify vs. Napster. I would prefer that there would be a greater diversity of sources and indirect is going to require more accountability than music but somewhat like that. No need to emigrate!
