Such a weird space, talking about the morals of AI scraping/learnings etc...
There is likely very few people in tech who have never pirated software/game/music.
(BBS, phreaking, warez - all got me started in the 80s 90s etc)
The thing is that the scraping by large capable MegaCorpo results in massive profits for them, though those took massive resources.
My only opinion on anything AI WRT data/scraping etc -- is I need a [DELETE_ME] button.
Personally, I think there should be an AIDIDIA
A.I. Digital Identity Data Independence Act.
The ability to remove my data from any company that may profit from it. - Not the hand-waving BS that is the current "opt out" -- Since AI can scrape me so easily, I should be able to wipe my-vectors just as easily.
Surely everyone just say "oh but is anon/normalized etc." Nope. Its not. Never has been.
I should be able to ask any model/system/service that I am interacting with and paying for exactly what it knows about me. How much its profited from me. Give me my full file. I ask AIs all the time "Give me a detailed dossier on company X include ceo, tenure, salary, spouse, (Asking for spouse is important in high profile folks because power couples often have different last names and you get surprised to see whomever else's ear/interests they carry)
--
If we are arguing that AIs cannot scrape massive public data sets - then we am I not allowed to make my self a private dataset.
I actually wrote a white paper about this back in the early 2000s - but it was large centered around portable gaming avatar/personal data... never pursued anything about it - but this is a serious issue.
EDIT: everyone got flagged while I was writing this... why?
