Meta AI chief under fire for saying authors should give books for free

"The lost revenue for authors would be small, and the benefits to society large by comparison."

What's your views on this?

kingwill101,

@suswatibasu i'm sure there's a lawyer somewhere preparing to use this in a discovery

@kingwill101 I kind of hope so, creatives are irate by his suggestion.

That way, AI developers can't be sued for using copywritten material they should have paid for. Idiotic.

@DejahEntendu exactly 💯!

That depends on how he sees "the benefits to society " working out.

On something like Universal Basic Income free stuff may be an option but how else does he expect creators to be supported?

@srfirehorseart especially during a cost of living crisis, writers are already really suffering.

Maybe he should start doing his job for free if he thinks other people should be doing their jobs for free lol

@TheCozyCat indeed!

davidalexlamb,

@suswatibasu I think there is a strong element of not respecting how much creative work is involved in "content generation" (a phrase I hate).

@davidalexlamb absolutely, there's certainly a disconnect between Big Tech and the arts right now.
