hen OpenAI trains on copyrighted novels without asking, or Google scrapes Australian artists' work totrain image generators without credit, they’re not disrupting anything
this makes me think of whenever you watch a dvd or vhs it plays a notice that says "piracy is not a victimless crime" and that its against federal law. how is ai using books, texts, art, etc. not a form of piracy? is it just because theres no laws around it? why cant ai just or start out with work that is publicly available?

Some earlyresearch shows that when students off-load cognitive duties onto chatbots, their capacity for memory,problem-solving, and creativity could suffer.

AI can be a surprisingly competent co-founder, helping give mentorship while also acting to build the documents, demos, and approaches that are otherwise likely to be outside your experience.
Although I understand that this can make certain things more accessible for people I think its still more ethical to source and pay real people

Work that involves summarizing large amounts of information

they don’t have your voice, your thoughts, your accent
this is why I personally never use AI to generate writing- I enjoy using my own voice
