We are social animals, many or most of us need social interaction for our well being, but also survival purposes taking into account the socioeconomic system and globalization. If we cannot have that interaction in real life, we try to find that in the virtual space.
On that, there is increasingly use of AI for social interaction engagement online, most likely without our notice. Does that has any value for you as a social connection? Is it worth it using social media at all for social interaction (actually interaction with AI) at this point? Wouldn’t it better to just throw away all these interaction at this point?
I understand what you mean about content-ownership…
To me, AI should be considered the same as a Public Library…
After all - the Library and the AI are just machines that feed our own content back to us!
If humans hadn’t spent the past 25 years writing books, blogs, and forums - A.I. would be useless!
It is built on decades of work by the people! (as you said)
**
Then - if AI is free and available to everyone - content creators can keep the gates open (posting publicly, not hiding from AI crawlers).
This is like keeping all books in the library - the overall knowledge increases, and all humans can improve.
So, in my opinion, that’s what we should be pushing/voting for:
Free (subsidized, non-profit) AI for everyone, everywhere.
Then there are zero issues with content ownership.
In principle sure, great idea. But capitalism is going to have different opinions.
