This is a very good piece about that strange, often upsetting intersection of technology and art, AI and writing. Stephen King and 'On Writing' did the same thing for me that they did for Brian - I was expecting a stronger anti-AI-training-on-books response in King's essay.

I've been a @StephenKing fan forever—he was one of my first author heroes, an inspiration to take up writing—so this was tough. BUT, in writing about generative AI, he characterized the Luddites as anti-progress, and I simply had to correct the record:

Spoke to @pindrop about AI and fraud detection - broke down how their software is able to identify a synthetic voice compared to a real human. The fascinating crossover of linguistics and machine learning.

How one tech company is tackling the recent proliferation of deepfake fraud

In the midst of rising AI-generated deepfake fraud, Pindrop has figured out how to find the difference between a human and a machine.

@jeffjarvis To equate opening the spigot of synthetic (but plausible sounding) trash as simply carrying other people's words ... again falls into the trap of not understanding that synthetic media is no one's words. LLMs don't mean anything by the words they extrude. (And don't have rights.)

Exactly on point - the core of these copyright cases has to do with a sharp dif. in opinion on the fair use of tech cos throwing content into a technology blender with huge commercial applications w/o paying for it. Experts I've spoken w/ have said a judgment could go either way

I see people confidently asserting that it's been established that generative AI models only infringe copyright if their output reproduces the training data. This isn't the case. Irrespective of their output, the more fundamental question of whether it's fair use to train gen AI
