For years, tech giants have argued that if information is available on the internet, it can be used for AI model development and outputs. They call it fair use. Content owners have tried to prevent this, with no success.
Now Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are discovering what the rest of the internet has already learned through painful experience: once you put something online, people will find ways to use it in ways you don’t like and can’t stop.
The latest flashpoint is something called “distillation,” using the outputs of one AI model to improve another. Anthropic says competitors are harvesting its outputs at scale, turning billions of dollars of research into a shortcut for rivals. OpenAI and Google have made similar warnings recently.
No, they’re mostly useless except for all the things that they’re useful for.
The problem is more the whole overshoving by the tech Bros into literally everything. Instead of them just being a better personal assistant.
Cuz they are legitimately very good at being personal assistance. At least the high-end models are.
The cheap low-free models will get there eventually. Till then we just have to deal with the really s***** version of Gemini or whatever we have. Dear God, that thing sucks.
At the current rate, it’s like a 2-year lag time or something. So sometime around 2028 we’ll have actually functional models that can do day-to-day stuff without s******* the bed. At least to my standards anyways.
