Oh no, CrImInAlS. We'd better make sure only big corps can use this tech and legislate against individual use. /s
Right? The nerve it takes to create an AI model from copyrighted work, and then turn around and call your copycats "criminals". Y'all, you started a criminal enterprise.
That's not the point, and you should actually read the article.
The "criminals" are using AI tools to commit what experts call "crimes". The creation of the tools is not the crime, but their use for criminal purposes is.
Self-righteous, uninformed rage doesn't help anyone.
There seems to be an excessive amount of that on this platform the last few weeks.
Clearly, this is a very viable Reddit successor.
i phrased my statement a little weirdly, but i understood this point perfectly when i made my comment. they created copycat LLMs that don't have the same "safeguards" in place, so these new LLMs can be used to write malware and produce other illegal results. My point was: it seems funny to call this criminal and call ChatGPT "legitimate" just because ChatGPT can't write malware.
Well, yeah, because that's kind of the point?
ICBMs and Falcon9s are both rockets, but one kind is much more concerning.
I was just thinking along the same lines "welp, there goes our open access to powerful AI functionality. It was fun for the few short months we had it".
