Raw LLM Responses

Does your assertion that AI is trained on 'Publicly available data' include the vast amounts of copyright material that has been casually appropriated without payment or permission? The problem is that Generative AI is inherently corrupt because the only way it could be trained was by treating with contempt the millions of Artists, writers and musicians whose work was used to train it. the term 'Publicly Available' is a rather loose definition of what is and is not free for the taking. If I walk past a street vendors stall with goods clearly on display it's true to say that these goods are 'publicly available'- they are in a public place-the street- and I can indeed get my hands on them. But does this availability mean that I therefore have the right to simpy take those goods without payment or permission? Copyright works on the internet are indeed publicly avilable- but this does not mean they can simply be taken and used for free- or at least this in not an ethical position, even if copyright law struggles to deal with it legally. So talking about the ethical use of a technology that could not even exist without violating clear ethical boundaries is a rather futile excercise. If the Developers of AI see no problem in simply taking other people's property at will then it's a bit odd for them to be professing concern that the users of AI might do bad things with it- surely the scammers are just taking their ethical lead from the people who developed the tools they are using? The entire AI enterprise is an amoral cult driven not by ethics but by profit.
