Yes. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 11 #14

That is much too extreme a view. yardwork Oct 11 #25

No, it isn't. If you're using AI without being forced to do so by your job or school, and you're aware highplainsdem Oct 11 #43

Write it yourself. Don't use an unethical tool trained on stolen intellectual property. highplainsdem Oct 11 #8

And write it in longhand with a quill pen and homemade ink. yardwork Oct 11 #27

Stop being so silly. No one suggested that. I love tech that actually helps, and I had an HP laser printer highplainsdem Oct 11 #44

One of my concerns... 2naSalit Oct 11 #35

You don't want it stealing YOUR stuff, but you're fine with it being trained on all the writing by other people highplainsdem Oct 11 #45

This is a deep subject Layzeebeaver Oct 11 #20

There's no way to use genAI built on theft ethically. That's like saying you'll use slave labor ethically. highplainsdem Oct 11 #22
