  • ChatGPT is not ā€˜artificial intelligence.’ It’s theft. | America Magazine
    Notes
    But in calling these programs ā€œartificial intelligenceā€ we grant them a claim to authorship that is simply untrue. Each of those tokens used by programs like ChatGPT—the ā€œlanguageā€ in their ā€œlarge language modelā€ā€”represents a tiny, tiny piece of material that someone else created. And those authors are not credited for it, paid for it or asked permission for its use. In a sense, these machine-learning bots are actually the most advanced form of a chop shop: They steal material from creators (that is, they use it without permission), cut that material into parts so small that no one can trace them and then repurpose them to form new products.

  • ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web | The New Yorker
    Notes
    It’s possible that, in the future, we will build an A.I. that is capable of writing good prose based on nothing but its own experience of the world. The day we achieve that will be momentous indeed—but that day lies far beyond our prediction horizon. In the meantime, it’s reasonable to ask, What use is there in having something that rephrases the Web?
