OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Sam Altman are in massive trouble. OpenAI is getting sued in the US for illegally using content from the internet to train their LLM or large language models
What makes it unethical? How is it different from advancements in technology taking away any other job, like elevator operators, numerous factory positions, calculators (the human kind), telephone operators, people who sew clothes (somewhat), and so on?
It seems to me that automating away jobs has historically bettered humanity. Why would we want a job to be done by a person when we can have a machine do it (assuming a machine does equal or better)? We can better focus people on other jobs and eventually, hopefully, with no mandatory need for a job at all.
Lol, as if. Look at wages:productivity since the 70s
Well, this “eventually” thing wouldn’t be until we can automate away so many jobs that we simply couldn’t (meaningfully) employ a significant chunk of people. We’re not there yet. Though we shouldn’t wait till we reach that point to get some form of UBI available. It’s at that point where UBI would be critical and needs to be at a living wage level.
