"...Those of us who actually explore that potential - the culminating latent space of human creation - come to understand that we're not so special on any individual scale. This perspective reveals to open minds how much more there is to gain than to be lost by these new tools..." sayth a defensive preceding commenter. I, on the other hand, am tiring rapidly of the libertarian/nihilistic/"Creator" argle-bargle those championing, let alone working in, A.I. serve up in pat, holier-than-thou dismissal of objections or anxieties about - Hollywood's legal foray the latest example - A.I.'s boasted, growing trespass on every dimension of human endeavor. And, the glaringly certain ripple-effects of it all. BTW, that a significant quotient of these prophets are under the age of 30 doesn't inspire confidence. ...I vaguely recall last hearing this sort of 'visionary' hubris in some basement rec room, hung with tie-dyed sheets and scented with incense, Hendrix or Grateful Dead setting the rhythm. ...If you get my drift.
Hollywood's lawsuit is spot-on on principle and, I should think, as a matter of well established law... [Although - gawd knows what dimension of 'regulation' pertaining to A.I. by states [where civil matters are litigated] Trump's BBB enjoins. Spoiler alert - A.I. lobbied for this for a reason]. Copyright law is pretty clear, the boundaries intentionally so if circumstantially litigable. Yeah - this suit may be a glass-half-full ploy at establishing and capturing some consideration from A.I. for the aforesaid trespass. But, more power to them anyhow. Shaking up the predicate economic model animating A.I.'s get-filthy-rich-lickety-split authors is perhaps best way to slow down their pump 'n dump attitude about relegating human creativity (outside their own) and labor to the dust bin in favor of - $ billion ka-ching/M&A and IPO - some new and supreme, planetary scale intelligence. The blather suggests they regard themselves as Promethean. I'd politely admonish them to pause and consider what became of Prometheus - or Dr. Frankenstein. Also, the old adage - "Just because you can, doesn't mean you SHOULD." Of course, that's red cape before a bull for the TechBros... near heresy.
