    If you regulate AI, you kill any open source or small time endeavors and turn the whole thing into a shit show. You need vast amounts of data to train models and only a few companies either have it or can afford what they are missing.

    Our whole economy is going to be AI driven soon, google and Microsoft would literally own us.

    I also think Reddit just aggregated that content. Us, the consumer, don’t deserve to get shafted and see AI costs explode just so spez can make a fat pay day off the content we created.

      Regulating doesn’t mean blocking, AI needs to be regulated, it should have been already done, look at stuff like deep fakes, some done even with dead people, fakes with actors faces and voices without their consent, and so on, it’s not just about training, it’s also about how the results are effectively used.

      And the fact the training is expensive doesn’t mean everyone should have free reign about it, especially when noone cares about the reliability of the datasets they’re using, of the ethical aspects of it.

      As for reddit, we’ve been already shafted, that’s why we’re on lemmy now.
