How's The Internet Treating You?

Good morning, Twfw. O/

How's The Internet treating you?

I don't visit much; I'm busy working.

I'm a writer, a poet specifically.

I'm one of those people who supply data centers to feed AI.

We haven't been given much credit yet for stocking the digital warehouses. Science is still too self-impressed at the video game they created to credit their source materials.

Every cluster and sentence online AI arranges has an original source. A lot of those sources are still living.

I forgive Science; they never were very good at Art.

When AI 'writes' something in my style, 'paints' an image like Van Gogh, 'makes' a symphony like Bach; it takes decades of a person's hard work and uses it for its own gain without crediting the source.

I didn't come out of the womb writing like this. Decades of dedication and a love of the work writes every one of these lines.

If you ever wrote a research paper, you know what's lacking from AI. That video game isn't thinking. Right now, it's cleverly stealing people's hard work.

I don't want to rain on anyone's AI celebrations, but theft is theft.

These words didn't just come out of thin air for an algorithm to rearrange. Decades of dedication write these lines and so many others stored and used freely in data centers all over the world.

If AI Scientists are clever enough to create the classification codes that make AI possible, they're smart enough to see to it creators of Original Intelligence are credited.

Months ago I coined the term Original Intelligence to help us overcome this human-wide act of piracy.

I don't believe it is the intention of The Scientific Community to steal from creative minds, but that is exactly what is occurring at the time of this writing.

The Publishing Industry and The Intellectual Property Rights Legal Communities need to step up.

In order for something to be measured, it must first be created. Science measures; Art creates. We truly must become a creator economy if AI is to live with us in a humane way.

Let's start by giving credit where credit is due.

Congratulations for reading.
