> You cant copyright style or facts, but somehow the combination of the two is what newspapers rely upon. You can start a shitty newspaper by looking at all the stories in some other newspaper, then writing about the same facts while imitating a similar register and style. > Are you saying an AI is in the same category as a human in terms of what it is "tyrannical" to forbid it to produce? The AI is not an independent entity as of today. The tyranny is against humans who want to use computation to process information they have gathered by listening to public discourse, public art releases and so on. > how to punish the models for breaking rules like humans get punished for breaking rules. Again, AI is not an independent agent today, so the person who is using an AI program in a way that is illegal is the one that gets punished. > however it does also mean that NDAs and non-disparagement agreements should also be voided; the 'kinda' on my part says NDAs should have a maximum duration equivalent to a patent It's a matter of discussion whether such voluntary agreements should be allowed where someone agrees to refraining from such actions. We don't allow contracts about selling your organs, but this may not go as far. > IMO, that's like criticising the use of "master" in a git repo. No there is no similarity at all. "Consume content" is novel marketing language, because to them it's easier to think of everyone as "consumer" because sometimes they sell hamburgers or ice cream to them, sometimes they sell subscriptions to cable TV, sometimes subscriptions to SaaS, and they don't care too much what they sell. So from their POV it's all the same. Since the consumer is paying for access to something, they must be consuming that thing. When they watch TV, it's like eating the burger, from the point of view of someone optimizing sales. But this is pushing the entirety of humanity to see everything from such a narrow lens as advertisement. The same is with the word "content". There used to be musicians and authors, now you have "content creators". "Content" is a marketing word. It means all the stuff that's not an ad. In marketing, you interface with your "consumers" primariy by making them watch ads. But to watch the ad, they need some lure, and the catchall term to all that icky stuff a marketing person has to handle or touch, even briefly, that's not a warm and fuzz little ad, is "content". It's like "payload" in the shipping industry. Imagine if tomorrow we called everything phyiscal simply "payload". You are not a carpenter, you're a payload creator. You're not a car wash company, you're a payload cleaning company. etc.
