If you run a store on Main Street,

should you get to decide if people can take pictures of your store?

If you run a store on Main Street, should people be allowed to take pictures of your store, copy its content and put it up for sale on another store?

I see this argument made over and over again here on HN and it’s puzzling that people always stop at the first part.

Companies won’t stop at the “look at your content” phase. They will use the knowledge gathered by looking at your content to do something else. That’s the problematic part.

I don't think that's problematic. That's how societies work. They learn.

AI is not “societies” or “people” and it most certainly doesnt “learn” as the two would. Perhaps thats what openai’s effective marketing campaign taught gullible folks but that’s not how it works at all. A”I” ingests massive amounts of people’s intellectual work, often without consent, mixes it and resells it without royalties.
