The analogy breaks down because physical property and intellectual property are different.
When we input creative works into training sets, we do not withhold those works from someone else! Digital copies are different than scarce resources. *
Also, all the AI ToS I've read have stated they will use my inputs to improve their services. I haven't seen an AI service state they won't use my inputs.
* Against Intellectual Property is a good book that explores this idea https://cdn.mises.org/15_2_1.pdf https://cdn.mises.org/15_2_1.pdf

- throw10920 2y agoThe analogy is perfectly apt. When an AI is trained on work that you've produced, it steals your effort - your work and effort and sweat has been taken by the model and its users. ...unless you think that your employer should be able to withhold wages from you because there's no "physical property" that you've provided to them.
