I read your post several times but still am not sure if I'm reading it correctly. Are you saying the media landscape is more complex than AI can solve?

If so, sure. I wasn't saying that. By "silly IP battles", I meant old guard media companies trying to sue AI out of existence just to defend their IP rather than trying to innovate. Not that different from what we saw with the RIAA and Napster. Somehow the music industry survived and there are more indie artists being discovered all the time.

I don't think this is so much a battle of OpenAI vs NYT but whether copyright law has outlived its usefulness. I think so.

If I misunderstood your reply completely, I apologize.

What I’m saying is tech displays a tremendous amount of hubris in its ability to wrap complex systems in clean tech protocols, ask/pressure/demand users to switch to the tech version of the complex system, and then deny or ignore their innovation doesn’t, at a minimum, come with a rash of negative side effects caused specifically by the inexact or deliberately mangled version in the technical protocol.

Ie:

- social relations -> social networks

- customer service -> chatbots and Jira

- media -> AI news, if the silly IP battles get out of the way.

- residential housing and vacations -> home swap markets

- jobs -> gig jobs, minus the benefits, plus an algorithm for a boss

I’m not sure how many other industries tech has to wade into, disrupt, creative intense negative externalities if you don’t have equity in the companies, leave, and repeat, prior to industries getting protective finally - like this lawsuit
