It was a free ‘game’ that was little more than a tutorial 🤷‍♂️

that’s an entirely legal fair use

Yet what these companies are doing does not constitute ‘fair use’, period, no matter how much you want to argue otherwise.

It is illegal. As an artist, if another individual or company wants to use my work for their own commercial purposes in any way, even if just to ‘analyze’ (since the analysis is part of their private commercial product), they still need to pay for a license to do so. Otherwise it’s an unauthorized use and theft. Copyright doesn’t even play into it at that point, and would be a separate issue.

It’s baffling to me seeing comments like this as if the ‘AI’ is some natural intelligence just hanging out going around reading books it’s interested in for the hell of it… No. These are software companies illegally using artists works (which we require licensing for commercial use) to develop a commercial, profit generating product. Whatever the potential outputs of the AI are is irrelevant when the sources used to train it were obtained illegally.

Yes I always want the option. I’m fine with an algorithm feed when I’m randomly checking in, but I really prefer chronological when an event is happening for instance and I want to see people’s most recent takes.

For real. The whole list I’m like “good luck” ha. It’s going to transcend reality by scraping data off Twitter and Reddit? Have fun with that. It sounds just like every other self assured egotistical ‘guru’ charlatan, completely talking out its digital ass.

What were the most popular news sources for that demo in the past? Facebook? MySpace? Sunday morning cartoons? When has that demographic ever had a ‘most popular news source’?

Also! The very first graph actually shows the BBC rated 10% higher than tiktok, but that’s not click bait enough, so they separated the BBC into subcategories so they could say tiktok was highest 🤦‍♂️
