@eff I can't help thinking that if huge companies need to obtain the raw materials for their products for free, when their products are supposed to make them rich, AND potentially put the original creators of the raw materials out of work, there's something wrong. Surely we should allow the creators to share in the profits generated by their work?
@jonpsp @eff Third, as EFF says, the publishers already eat most of the profits, while creators get pittance. The same would happen with any money from AI companies. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually the publishers would be the ones trying to replace creators with AI.
AI is the new face of old problems, a distraction. Instead of narrowly focusing on AI, we should focus on creators directly. Also on the environment directly, on privacy directly, etc. Strike hydra's body, not its newest head.
