I don’t know where you got that image from. AllenAI has many models, and the ones I’m looking at are not using those datasets at all.
Anyway, your comments are quite telling.
First, you pasted an image without alternative text, which it’s harmful for accessibility (a topic in which this kind of models can help, BTW, and it’s one of the obvious no-brainer uses in which they help society).
Second, you think that you need consent for using works in the public domain. You are presenting the most dystopic view of copyright that I can think of.
Even with copyright in full force, there is fair use. I don’t need your consent to feed your comment into a text to speech model, an automated translator, a spam classifier, or one of the many models that exist and that serve a legitimate purpose. The very image that you posted has very likely been fed into a classifier to discard that it’s CSAM.
And third, the fact that you think that a simple deep learning model can do so much is, ironically, something that you share with the AI bros that think the shit that OpenAI is cooking will do so much. It won’t. The legitimate uses of this stuff, so far, are relevant, but quite less impactful than what you claimed. The “all you need is scale” people are scammers, and deserve all the hate and regulation, but you can’t get past those and see that the good stuff exists, and doesn’t get the press it deserves.
Funny how you speak about e.g. text to speech ai when I am talking about LLM and image generation AIs. It is almost as if you didn’t want to critic my point.
It is funny how you use legal terms like copyright when I talk about morality. It is almost as if I don’t say that you shouldn’t be legally allowed to work with public domain Material but that you shouldn’t call it ethical when it is not. It is also funny how you say it is fair use. I invite you to turn the whole of Harry Potter from text to Speech and publish it. It is fair use, isn’t it? You know that you wouldn’t be in the right there. But again, this isn’t a legal argument, it is moral one.
Who said, that I think it could replace writers or painters in quality or skill, I said it could ruin the economical validity of the profession. That is a very very different claim.
I want to address your statement about my telling behavior. Sorry, you are right. I am sorry for the screen reader crowd. You all probably know that alt text could be misleading and that someone says that in the internet, isn’t a reliable source. So i hope you can forgive me as you did your own simple research into AllenAi anyway.
