Soe here are talking as if AI human, AI is a tool, If someone write code,
or a little program, then Uses AI to help clean the code up, that does not
belong to AI, one should be honest tho and say AI was used to help write
the code, but it does not belong to AI.

No you are still missing the point. No one is claiming AI is human or even
sentient... just that AI is creating code that people (who otherwise maybe
cannot code) are presenting as their own. Search on "Shadow AI" for details
on how this can cause trouble.

No, not missing the point, I even quoted the example in an earlier post. The people that are saying code made with the help of AI belongs to AI.

Except that the last two people you responded this way to were not making that point.

The point they were making is the same one I made above.

If you see someone making the point you are responding to... that AI is "human"... then please be sure you are replying to them. ;)

Although AI tools are trained with existing data, I still wonder about ethical usage.

Just think if we had effective copyright law - all of the web 2.0
companies that monetized user content would have had to figure a way to
monetize the platform for content creators!

Similarly, AI companies seem to take pride in scraping any and all
content on the web to train their LLMS, then charge for the privelige
of accessing that data through their LLM.

They've even claimed that copyright hurts their business model!

Another thing about the ethical angle: In my experience, companies want their employees to be using AI tools to increase productivity. Time is money, so if you're not using all the tools available to make you as productive as possible (thus, making the employer spend more money via your salary to get a project done), I think that could be seen as not ethical from the company's standpoint.

Then, they blow through their annual AI budget in 4 months. I'm trying
to get my company to realize they can do a ton with CoPilot chat, which
we get for free with Microsoft 365. Copilot Pro is only really useful
if you use it inside of your Office apps - and if that's not worth
$360/year in your use case, you don't need it.

For most people who want a search engine that hallucinates, free is
fine.

yeah i think AI is here to stay ... unfortunately i think its just a reality that we all have to get used to .

It's going to burn down the financial markets. The markets are propped
up by the same handful of companies buying GPUs and services from each
other with crazy valuations.

SpaceX, which absorbed Musk's personal X debt and xAI's money
hemorraging operation and is now fast-tracked into the NASDDAQ 100 (in
contravention of their own rules) is now forcing its debt onto the ATFs
and retirement index funds. xAI can continue it's cash-negative
operations subsidized by those same portfolios and SpaceX's spacecraft
subsidies from the government.

Billionaires profit, ordinary people lose money, and the government
continues to finance Musk.



i mean i use it from time to

time to find answers to things quicker when i get stumped ... i dont
like admitting it but hey it is a handy tool to have in the pocket !

Musk has been putting everything into spacex. That's how he operates.
He was homeless living in a fabricated home with grimes on spacex property.

Billionaires profit, ordinary people lose money,

you mean those people you vote for?

and the government
continues to finance Musk.

Businesses use the tax system and take advantage of everything they can. That's how they operate. they wouldn't exist if they didn't.

I assume you've dumped every spare cent you have into SPCX since the IPO if you believe in it so much, right?

Most Billionaires don't run for public office, they just buy the people who do.

It's not that i 'believe in it'; but it works. It did save those astronaughts. Yes i have some spacex stock.

and he had dumped everything he has into every one of his endeavors. like i Said, that's how he operates.

The crooked politicians may not be billionares, but they are trying to be.

People like this are on a whole 'nother level. money doesn't work the same for them as it does for us. Debt and credit and all that shit.
