    Ha, I'm sorry do you think you've made a logical point by comparing rubbing your hands together, and "igniting a nuke." Again, this isn't a "this at small scale is ok, but at large…

    Why would I attempt to come up with a "better" example of a premise I reject? Your vague response doesn't seem to have anything to do with the the base subject this whole thing rev…

    Actually the burden is to prove that what AI is producing is plagiarism or copyright violation, this isn't about some special right, but that there are many making the case that th…

    Many things share characteristics with human, we have for decades created methods for systems to emulate and synthesize those characteristics. It is sort of delusional to think tha…

    Well because no one is attempting to claim that the structures or products produced by using Hammers are plagiarism? In a sane world, things produced by tools are owned and credite…

    Is it a fallacy? Can you provide a legal or logical basis for this being treated differently.

    The argument isn't small crime vs large crime. It is no crime regardless of scale. If it is acceptable for a person to learn, then it should be acceptable for a machine. And any de…

    How large do you think your some total of all things learned would be as a dataset, we aren't that different in that regard, just in how we amass that dataset and how curated it is…

    I was trying to stick to the example, but I agree, that getting away with something doesn't determine if it is right or wrong. And the whole concept of that makes for shaky ground …

    I have dyslexia, and perhaps its because I developed a lot of mechanics to handle it, I don't find the font useful, it doesn't resolve any of the issues I have, and I find Console …

    what an odd clickbait type article, it goes over the history of people who previously wanted to do this. But mention there is no current effort to do so, and asking the question is…

    I always found it interesting as the sharp term including C# was odd because it isn't the sharp symbol, which is ♯. All of them use the # hash character, so calling it sharp always…

    I wonder where the divide of "shebang" vs "hashbang" lands geographically and chronologically, During college and for many years in the early 90s and 2000s in the south it commonly…

    Guess I'm not in the target market for this problem. I suppose if you didn't have access to Microsoft 365 or Google Suites this would be a good fit? But since you are likely paying…
