Then “mankind” should be paying for research and servers, shouldn’t it?



Mankind already pays for education and infrastructure.

Did OpenAI and others pay for the training data from Stack Overflow, Twitter, Reddit, Github etc. Or any other source produced by mankind?


We are. QE and Covid funny money devalued the dollar in exact proportion it gave so much money that even stock buy-backs got old and they started investing in stuff to get rid of those pesky humans and their insolent asking of salaries.


... that's how government works.

name a utopian fiction that has corporations as benefactors to humanity


I mean, we already benefit plenty in various ways from corporations like Google.

AI is just another product by another corporation. If I get to benefit from the technology while the company that offers it also makes profit, that’s fine, I think? There wasn’t publicly available AI until someone decided to sell it.


And corporations already benefited plenty from infrastructure, education and stability provided by governments.

>If I get to benefit from the technology while the company that offers it also makes profit, that's fine.

What if you don't benefit because you lose your job to AI or have to deal with the mess created by real looking disinformation created by AI?

Is was already bad with fake images out of ARMA but with AI we get a whole new level of fakes.


Indeed it should.
