Theft Is Not Fair Use.

“One of AI’s original sins (there are many) is scraping every corner of the Internet for training data, sucking up text, photos, video, music and anything they can find online to feed the large language models tech companies are racing to develop. Intellectual property rights and copyrights be damned, in true Silicon Valley style, AI companies are moving fast and breaking things. They need the data, so they take it and claim it’s transformative fair use. It’s not; it’s theft.”

AI is an impactful gimmicky word for good ol’ computer programming that has been trained to process, copy, and reuse other people’s hard work. We gobble this up when it gives us value for free/cheap, and decry it when our own process/products are stolen.

Which is why the content on Good Hearts MEET is absolutely FREE, but protected behind a log-in process, one that AI can’t crack just yet. Soon, as more and more content creators begin to implement these safeguards, AI will probably whip up a fake login and steal everything. Until then, here we are. The cornerstone of my entire career has been demolishing barriers to entry. . . but now I’m building them in!

Thanks for your patience, and for the opportunity to connect and catch up on these important ethical/logistical issues. Catch you on the other side of the log-in!
