If we can get dinner from mom, who needs a grocery store? Seems like the same logic to me. Isn't the Web where the information came from?

Seems like the same logic to me. Isn't the Web where the information came from?
- svachalek 1y agoMom needs something very like a grocery store to get food from. LLM training does not need HTTP, HTTPS, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, hyperlinks, banner ads, cookies, and so on. Yes the web was a convenient source to find a lot of text but it's not the only source.
- pornel 1y agoFor as long as mom was feeding me, I never needed to shop at a grocery store. But here the mom is a robot taking produce for free. Not a good business for grocery stores.
- jibal 1y agoIt's obviously not even close to the same logic. One obvious difference is that "mom" (who gets their dinner from "mom"? Not me) pays the grocery store for the food. If I get all my meals via DoorDash, the farmers still get paid. If I get all my news via LLMs rather than a subscription to the NYT, the NYT and its investigative reporters get no revenue from me.
