| I struggle to believe that anybody actually cares in this manner, because of the prevalence of bad faith analogies like this one. The trees are still there, and we get furniture. I am not Harper-Collins, I am not Random House. I didn't have a problem when collecting and presenting data like this was called a "search engine" and I don't know why I should believe it's worse now that it can also talk to me. |

| ▲ | onestay42 6 days ago | parent [-] | | Those are very good points. I suppose it depends on one's view of IP. I think your comment has actually changed my mind—at least a little bit. Thank you. | | |
| ▲ | llbbdd 5 days ago | parent [-] | | Thank you - I do understand the IP argument, especially as it applies to e.g. Meta who may have obtained a lot of their training data illegally, which I think is a wholly separate legal question. I apologize also for referring to your comment as "bad-faith", I have seen the argument applied by other people and cast it onto yours, when I should have just said I didn't think it applied. |
