Finally got where I stand: why uncomfortable? It’s just being hard to impose a sensible approach to it:
llms can be used as a tool efficiently
Large swaths of people disagree with this, and it also causes legal uncertainty because the training data is copywritten or even patented.
Replying to @FiniteBanjo@feddit.online
Yup, legal problem is there. Not being a lawyer, I see this as a complicated bunch of problems no one is going to solve to the benefit of everyone who actually made this possible (artists, programmers, social media users etc), which is sad (right now I don’t even have the strength to swear)
To anyone who thinks llms are only good at spewing nonsense: well, my experience as well as that of many others says otherwise
