This is exactly what social media companies have been doing for a while (it’s free, yes) they use your data to train their algorithms to squeeze more money out of people. They get a tangible and monetary benefit from our collective data. These AI companies want to train their AI on our hard work and then get monetary benefit off of it. How is this not seen as theft or even if they are not doing it just yet…how is it not seen as an attempt at theft?
How come people (not the tech savvy) are unable to see how they are being exploited? These companies are not currently working towards any UBI bills or policies in governments that I am aware of. Since they want to take our work, and use it to get rich and their investors rich why do they think they are justified in using people’s work? It just seems so slime-y.
They’re actually not making money. They’re losing money. Yes yes, I know they’re raising billions of dollars, but that goes into the training of the these models which requires manpower and a massive amount of compute and energy. Yeah, they tend to charge to use it (but also offer free tiers) but this is to put back into training.
Here’s the thing. The cat is out of the bag. It’s coming one way or another, and it will either be by us, or it will be by not us.
I’d rather it be us. Id rather us not be so selfish and rather us be willing to contribute to this ultimate tool for the betterment of all.

Capital calls its own theft “innovation” and that of the individual “crime”.
