AI Trains on Your Meme Posts, Pays You In Infinite Silence
AI models like ChatGPT are feasting on your Reddit rants and Instagram selfies — training on a vast buffet of internet content without asking for permission or paying a dime. One expert grimly admits, 'We're at the top of the first inning of understanding how... fair use applies to AI training.' Meanwhile, President Trump complains it would be a logistical nightmare to pay everyone, saying, 'you cannot expect... every time to say: Oh, let’s pay this one that much.' So, all your digital wisdom helps billionaire techies get richer, and you can keep waiting for that UBI handshake.
