"it's not the same way a human reads a novel."
its like a mother reading to a child, so the statement stands. Plus, it's not A novel.

" a human doesn't "train" on a novel, "
we absolutely do.

"implies learning to duplicate its structure"
Which is what children do.

"The only humans "training" on a novel and proceeding to write their own are what we call cut and dried plagiarists"
lol, no. Every thing you write is based on everything you read and learned. All humans.

Sitting in a librasy and writes a book bu cutting a word from all the other books is not copyright infringement, nor is it plagiarism. Plagiarism is an academic thing, not a legal thing. Just so you know.

They didn't take anything.

" In an ideal world they'd be forced to remove it from their data "
You do not understand AI.

If you write a book, do you get permission from every author you have read in the past? why not? you book is built upon everything you learned, so clearly they own a piece, right?

How is reading copyright infringement? It's no different then what AI is doing.
Also, copyright is about disturbing works. There is no record of any AI distributing works beyond fair use.

If I write a book by cutting the words out of a library full of books, it's not copyright infringement. Same with AI.

Bunch of people don't understand AI. these same writer probably rally against libraries.

""Americans no longer trust the legacy national media to report the news fairly or accurately,""

      More accurately, many Americans have replaced imperfect professional journalism with memes, influencers, partisan websites, and internet echo chambers.
The sensible response to media bias is not to declare that every news organization is equally untrustworthy. It is to learn how to evaluate sources: Does it distinguish reporting from opinion? Does it correct errors? Does it cite evidence? Does its work follow established journalistic standards, such as the SPJ Code of Ethics?

Convincing people that all mainstream media is equally corrupt may be one of the Republican Party’s most successful achievements. Once people accept that premise, factual reporting can be dismissed as partisan whenever it becomes inconvenient. Attacking fact-checkers is part of the same strategy: discredit anyone capable of demonstrating that a claim is false.
      Every news organization has some degree of bias. That does not mean every organization is equally biased, equally accurate, or equally ethical. Saying “all media is biased” and concluding that Fox News and CNN are simply mirror images of one another is like saying every vehicle has blind spots, so a bicycle and an eighteen-wheeler are equally dangerous.

  Media bias exists on a spectrum. Accuracy, sourcing, transparency, and adherence to journalistic standards matter at least as much as whether an outlet leans left or right.

This media-bias chart is a useful starting point:

      I wish we cold get popular influencers who teach how tor rate media. Which is ironic, becasue people like their bias and often refuse to evaluate it, they won't watch or educate them selves on how to spot there own bias and media bias, and if people where like that,, we wouldn't need popular influencers to teach how to rate media.
      I personally prefer a numerical scale, with 50 representing the political center, but perhaps that reflects the system I originally learned.

Here is a good chart for this. Skews and center is 'fine' I prefer a 1-100 scale, were 50 is center, but I'm sure that's my bias because I learned it with the method.

Every song written by humans was created with the influence of every song they ever listened to. No different than AI.

IF everyone you meet us dysfunctional, then Occom's razor implies it's a you problem.

"her expecting me to read her mind and magically know how to please her in every way, (a very long list), was always a factor.
"
oh, so by dating you mean watched 80's comedians all day . got it.

"the world by and large wants there to be marriage and family."
I like that you speak you nonsense for the entire globe.

IT's a simple issue. The internet has lead to people spending all most all there free time at home, usually failing into echo chambers and never learning good social skills.
As people gain wealth, we don't need kids to survive as much. This is a good thing.

". They are legal minefields and financial minefields."
lol.

Not by chances. over 10,000 year ago humans started domesticating them. Part of the was human moving to an agriculture society.
They were useful tools for dealing with rodents.

AI is nothing like nicotine.

This is exactly what companies like PwC come in and do. The AI just did it faster.

Bullshit. if they are that fucking good then they should also be able to patch it just as fast. Its a zero sum game. Fuck off with your bullshit too.

Your shitty chat bot is not a national security risk.

They aren't "stepping away" John. They are being kicked to the fucking curb

Leaded gasoline is estimated to have killed over 100,000,000 people, reduced the collective IQ of the entire planet and permanently polluted most waterways over the course of 50-60 years, all based on lies by General Motors and some others.

The demonization of cholesterol has lead to the sickest generation in human history with the highest rates of diabetes ever recorded and a massive increase of heart disease, cancer, stroke, despite claiming to reverse these conditions. We're then told its genetic to cover the lie, as if our genes somehow changed so significantly over the last 40 years that the rates of these diseases increased orders of magnitude. We now have the lowest levels of cholesterol in human history and the highest rates of disease, yet they continue to lie.

There are analogs to this. This is not new to humanity. It's just the tip of the iceberg.
