I have published a lot of content about a particular topic online and I want it to be publicly accesible. A lot of people use it to create YouTube videos, that's fine (and a lot of them even cite me). I have a problem with LLM profiting from them.
Which now I realize is not different from people amaking YouTube videos. I feel there is a difference but I don't know how to explain it. Maybe there isn't. Ouch, writing this comment was not a good idea...
- chunky1994 2y agoThis difference in emotional reaction is because of the effort involved in the process. Functionally, we see YouTube video creation as a fundamentally difficult exercise (to do well) and results in a singular product (one video). Any additional content would need an ongoing investment of time and money from the creator. The LLMs though would not require an ongoing investment beyond the first training run, that is probably why you have a problem with it, they're an extremely high leverage way of taking advantage of content.
