As far as I can tell, this is an unsourced statistic, and something that wouldn't be that easy to measure or even define. What counts as time spent together?

Yeah, degree generally matters. Airplane flights rarely kill people, so we allow them. If 50% of flights resulted in death, we would not. Google searches rarely illegally return copyrighted content, so it's allowed. The Pirate Bay sear

OP said they don't care that it can reproduce copyrighted content because they're not going to do so with it. That's roughly the opposite of what you're implying.

What makes these models feel so impressive is that they don't just copy their training sets. They pick up on concepts and principles.

Your point boils down to privacy is good because it lets people get away with crime and laws might be bad. The solution shouldn't be to make crimes easier to hide. It's to legalize homosexuality.

If you're innocent, more information about what happened is more likely to exonerate you than incriminate you. If you're guilty, the extra data is more likely to incriminate you.
