Hot Takes on Yik Yak | I think it should be illegal to make money off of ai models. Like if it’s a certain percentage of ai (because ai has been around for a long time, so we all use it some way or another, not just these new fancy generative stuff), or if it’s an ai model.

Like companies are pour trillions into ai model development and making slop generation incredibly easy and accessible BECAUSE it is profitable. If it’s suddenly illegal to profit directly off of ai, then only locally ran open-source models will still be around and continue development (maybe), and they’re all a lot more complicated to set up, and expensive to run. So mostly only professionals would still use it for small things like creating background assets or textures and stuff

No copyright issues, no censorship issues, no employment or moral questions, it directly attacks just the evil part of this industry.

definitely still copyright and distribution issues. there's almost no use of ai that isn't copyright infringement

If they’re not profiting off it, I don’t see the issue.

i do but that's something you'd have to take up with the courts. copyright is rather broad, fair use is rather limited, and it's not my call. i just know that we largely create these prohibitive laws when some sort of harm can be demonstrated, meaning you'd have to argue that there really is no harm, which i doubt you could do

Either way, a lot of damage can be prevented if it just becomes illegal to profit off of the output and/or the access/use of ai models.

i'd agree with that
