Why do you think that business value is the only thing to look at here? If someone starts copying my likeness, mannerisms, writing style, etc. they could also use that to damage my reputation or harm my relations with other people. I think that those two possibilities represent irreparable harms with no associated business value. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> If someone starts copying my likeness, mannerisms, writing style, etc. they could also use that to damage my reputation or harm my relations with other people. I think that those two possibilities represent irreparable harms with no associated business value. There's 8 billion people on the planet. Unless you're a celebrity, this is not a real problem for you at this point (and if you are, it's a business problem). There's no way for a large model learning on the entirety of the Internet to somehow convert "copying likeness, mannerisms, writing style, etc." into damaging your reputation; doing that is something hyper-targeted, and at this point (and in conceivable future), there's no middle ground between "plausible deniability" and "someone targeting you specifically, which they could do just as well in pre-AI times". You're also not as unique as you think. There are many people with same mannerism, many people with same writing style, etc. Nor are those things constant over time. The flip side of not being a unique snowflake is also that anyone's contributions to the public Internet are, for purposes of AI training, worth approximately $0 on the margin, and impact the model just as much. It's in the volume of data that the patterns emerge that LLMs learn, volume too big for any person to be entitled to a meaningful part of it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
