My Books Were Used to Train Meta’s Generative AI. Good

Models are _not_ human beings, and should _not_ be treated as such! Not in ethical, normative, or legal fashions.

Every output should be considered a derivative work of the input, and models should be required to license their inputs accordingly. To do otherwise is a massive devaluation of real human labour and ingenuity.

And no, this is not equivalent to human beings training and learning on their own experiences and consumption. Moreover, the scale of investing inputs and delivering outputs far outstrips any human capacity.

If human learning is equivalent to ML training; it’s up to the ML advocates to actually prove that! Until then, kindly stop using human comparisons as an excuse for rampant theft.

Your entire post is disingenuous and full of assumptions, like AI inputs are inherently fair use.
