> Not sure how this is self-serving or a reference to human learning. An argument I frequently see made to defend companies who take all kinds of people's content to build LLMs (which then compete with the people's whose stuff they took) is this: 1. People learn from seeing examples, and that's protected. 2. Machine/LLMs learn from the content (the trick being pulled is to equate human learning with machine learning). 3. Therefore OpenAI, Google, etc. should be able take everyone's stuff to build the tech they want to sell / I want to use / fulfills my nerd fantasies. It's self-serving because they don't care about the harm done to build the thing they want, so are trying to excuse that harm away. > This is a pretty emotional reply What's wrong with emotion?
