If models are training on NYT content the future of AI is horrific.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Your ability to cleanly believe you’ve got a clear read on the challenges, solutions and outcomes from AI for the social/civil/corporate mess that is media, across small to large markets, and chalk it up to “silly IP battles,” is the daily reminder I need on why it was so wrong to give tech the driver’s seat from ~2010 onward.

I read your post several times but still am not sure if I'm reading it correctly. Are you saying the media landscape is more complex than AI can solve? If so, sure. I wasn't saying that. By "silly IP battles", I meant old guard media companies trying to sue AI out of existence just to defend their IP rather than trying to innovate. Not that different from what we saw with the RIAA and Napster. Somehow the music indus…

What I’m saying is tech displays a tremendous amount of hubris in its ability to wrap complex systems in clean tech protocols, ask/pressure/demand users to switch to the tech version of the complex system, and then deny or ignore their innovation doesn’t, at a minimum, come with a rash of negative side effects caused specifically by the inexact or deliberately mangled version in the technical protocol.

Ie:

- social relations -> social networks

- customer service -> chatbots and Jira

- media -> AI news, if the silly IP battles get out of the way.

- residential housing and vacations -> home swap markets

- jobs -> gig jobs, minus the benefits, plus an algorithm for a boss

I’m not sure how many other industries tech has to wade into, disrupt, creative intense negative externalities if you don’t have equity in the companies, leave, and repeat, prior to industries getting protective finally - like this lawsuit
