I’ve noticed that people tend to disapprove of AI trained on their profession’s data, but are usually indifferent or positive about other applications of AI.

For example, I know artists who are vehemently against DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, etc. and regard it as stealing, but they view Copilot and GPT-3 as merely useful tools. I also know software devs who are extremely excited about AI art and GPT-3 but are outraged by Copilot.

For myself, I am skeptical of intellectual property in the first place. I say go for it.

The last time I happened to point this out[1], all I got was a bunch of HNers nitpicking the words I chose, but not addressing the core issue.

I have to assume this is just people being protective of their own profession and consequently, setting up a high bar for what constitutes as performance in that profession.
