> If I learn to write news articles by reading the NYT, I’m not then able to duplicate myself infinitely and fill every role at every news publisher. I am but one human, producing one human’s output and consuming one human’s space within whatever pursuit I undertake. Critically, I still leave room for others to do the same thing.
This is a luddite argument that can equally apply to any automation. A robotic arm can be trained to do the same thing a human line worker does, but the robotic arm can be copied infinitely and work 24/7 leaving zero room for other humans to do the same thing. Should we ban robotic arms?
- fullofideas 3y agoLike I say to my toddler, there is no need for rudeness to make a point. Nowhere did the poster say that is “sufficient” reason to ban ai. They were clarifying how software is different from humans and only that. You need to go up a couple of comments and combine this explanation with the other part of copyright infringement concerns to see why the “whole” thing is concerning for the news industry.

- coeneedell 3y agoWe have already banned robotic arms in this case. It’s illegal to make a robot that mass manufactures someone else’s IP. It’s considered copyright infringement and is a well trodden law, the introduction of a machine in the middle doesn’t magically launder the copyright infringement.
