When chatting with the first came out, all the rage was about how you could punch anything into chat GPT, use it hideously for any purpose no matter how silly or inconsequential, but you could also use it for serious things as well. For example you could ask it a question and it would search the web or search its databases and provide you a detailed response about some topic. Now, chat GPT gives you almost nothing. I asked it three questions today, very simple questions. One of them was about inkjet printers, literally two sentences. Another question I asked was about a cooking recipe. Third question, it refused to answer and gave me this bogus response that I have run out of responses and that I should subscribe…

Claude is apparently in the same boat right now. After I unsubscribed for Claude pro because of it being a true waste of money, I was able to get maybe one or two questions out of Claude a day, and most of the time I can’t ask at any questions because they are at capacity supposedly

So it’s kind of funny. AI is committing mass theft of copyrighted information and data on a widespread scale, the only way they are going to be able to train their AI models and have been training their AI models are through free information that has been taken from users, people of the world, sold to them by third parties. And now, you can no longer use AI for free! You have to pay for the information that they took from you for free, and likely copyright information that they shouldn’t have had to begin with…

    You can use AI for free on your own hardware.

    AI is committing mass theft of copyrighted information and data on a widespread scale, the only way they are going to be able to train their AI models and have been training their AI models are through free information that has been taken from users, people of the world, sold to them by third parties.

    By “mass theft of copyrighted information,” what do you mean? Who had the copyrighted information but no longer has it? Do you mean copyright infringement? If so, then you should look up “fair use” and keep reading until you understand why they think it’s applicable to their use case.

    And by “data that has been taken from users,” do you mean by users who agreed to terms of service allowing the use or sale of their information/contributions to the site, generally so they could use a site for free?

    Do you think that receiving a service has zero value, or that providing that service has zero value? If so, then why did all of those people use those zero value services in exchange for their information?
