This really is what modern tech essentially does most of the time these days: steals and/or cheats. The tech it produces is to aid in stealing/cheating. I mean, LLMs and image-generating AI were loaded up with stolen content in order to function. I still can’t get over that, yet apparently it’s all good, no laws broken–and has been fine this way for years now. Back in the olden days when i went to school, cheating was a punishable offense. Now it’s proof of how ‘clever’ one is. Fucking bullshit from top to bottom.
Theft has always been allowed as long as that theft is for the benefit of the ruling class of society. It’s not new with AI. It’s just a different application of it and at the scale that modern technology allows.
