Hot take: LLM technology is being purposefully framed as AI to avoid accountability (self.technology)

Which of the following sounds more reasonable?

  • I shouldn't have to pay for the content that I use to tune my LLM model and algorithm.

  • We shouldn't have to pay for the content we use to train and teach an AI.

By calling it AI, the corporations are able to advocate for a position that's blatantly pro corporate and anti writer/artist, and trick people into supporting it under the guise of a technological development.

This is actually exactly what I mean. Most people hear AI and envision something much, much more complex. It's easier to argue that HAL-9000 is like a human and should therefore be allowed to freely view book content like a human, versus argue that a sophisticated LLM is like a human and should be allowed to freely view books like a human. That's moreso where I'm coming from. And politicians are stupid enough to pass laws envisioning these as HAL-9000.
