It appears you are only capable of seeing things from a personal perspective. Let me educate you on WHY adding computers was and continues to be such a huge 'positive' impact:

The computer guys figured out 'DRM'. This feature allows the manufacturer to more fully control the entire car. What I mean by that is that there are not really ANY aftermarket stereos anymore. Additionally there are more and more parts that can only be provided by the manufacturer. Many of those parts are designed to have a short lifetime. Taken together, what all of this means is that the manufacturer now has a steady income in relation to repairing vehicles. Or, in other words, it is wildly profitable to abuse your customers with locked in parts replacement... but, there is an additional benefit, the cost to build the car is cheaper than with purely mechanical components but they can charge more because it is "more complicated".

In other words, it is profitable. The reason you can't see that is because you see it from your own perspective: Why would you want to fuck over anyone? You would be an honest merchant; therefore, you do not see how being sneaky and slimy will increase your profits.

The issue is that with the proper set of prompts, the entire copyrighted work can be coaxed from the AI, which is distribution. Even more problematic is that numerous prompts can evince portions of the copyrighted work, portions large enough to qualify as copyright infringement.

If the AI kept it to themselves, they could train on as much copyrighted work as they want... but then, they would not be commercially available.

You can train the AI that you use on anything you want, copyrighted or not. An AI that is to be used commercially can not be trained on copyrighted works because the AI regurgitates portions, or all, of that copyrighted material.

We pay you to pay us, we're now doing Trillions!

Guess what? If I happen to use a particular sequence of words, I get called out for using AI when I don't even know what the trigger words are! (I mention this because this type of thing happens to me a lot where I say a particular sequence of words and it triggers people in a way unknown to me previously)

In general, there are a lot of good and bad things.

(lol, CAPTCHA was 'flawed', same as your reasoning)

So surely companies are going to line up and donate right . . . . right?

It always sounds like a lot of money to the bean counters until you explain to them the station probably spent tens of millions of dollars producing that content, and all it takes is a corporate meltdown or technical SNAFU and all of it is gone.

lol, do you not know how public broadcasting works?

Then they should pass a law disallowing that but they won't. Because they all do it.

As I just said to someone else using this line of logic: Explain SystemD...

Then explain SystemD...

The only thing that matters is that they were able to exfiltrate your data again.

Esoteric bugs have a way of becoming security nightmares as people more fully understand them. *shrug*

Everything should be picture perfect and coherent all of the time. This is the real world and that is impossible... but striving for it is not wasted effort.

Yes, but has your main account ever been suspend before or banned on a sub?

I believe their entire point was that it is possible to use AI effectively, not to humble-brag. Why waste time being a hater?
