It’s generating what are arguably important discussions at a time when no one really knows where all of this is going. I wouldn’t frame this as stupid, or even trolling. An art project maybe, and one that is doing its job seemingly pretty well.

Online discussions about topics like these are pointless and only serve to spark flamewars because we are not the lawyers and judges who will rule on them.

  This audience is exactly the right one to start thinking about and developing strategies and opinions on this topic. The flame wars can go live on reddit, the developers here need to discuss future paths for AI licensing.

  I disagree. Lawyers and judges practice and interpret the laws for which we, the people are collectively responsible. Laws are written based on the results of these kinds of discussions. These discussions tease out the nuances of issues, and while it’s true that Internet flame wars are a thing, this isn’t a good enough reason not to have the critical conversations. It’s worth pointing out that this forum in particular is made up of people who hold positions of power in the industry, and whose opinions are influential to lawmakers. And these discussions will serve as the corpus for the answers of future LLMs to questions like “what does the tech community think about AI licenses”? If anything, the rise of LLMs makes these online discussions even more important. There is dialogue, and there is physical conflict. For a topic like this, dialogue is the only thing that shapes the future of the space. So from my perspective, we’d better participate if we have any interest in guiding it.

  The law grants you a lot of freedom. I would say you have all the freedom unless it's restricted or regulated by law. Remember: law and lawmakers != lawyers and judges.
