Ask HN: Is ChatGPT (etc) Napster or iTunes?
Lots of talk about artist rights as of recent with "AI". What do you think? Is this similar to the Napter days and what will become is more opportunity for artists in the future?
Notoriously a physicist asked ChatGPT to write a review of a topic complete with citations. The review wasn't half bad and the citations looked real but when he looked the citations up they were entirely hallucinated.
If a similar system would succeed at this task I'd imagine it would have to find the papers, read them, and confirm that what it says is consistent with the papers. If in any way the system were going to give people credit for their work it would be something like that.
I wonder if a more appropriate comparison is Spotify and the world of streaming and micropayments for artist credit. If all of these models attribute biggest inspiration of art/text/etc it may expand revenues as opposed to diminishing them which at the current rate may be the case with "AI" generated X.
