The Spin


While this might be a boon for AI research, it will be a disaster for privacy and the rights of users on Reddit and other sites that have been used for AI training.

If we want AI tools to continue to grow in sophistication, then we have to accept that the models have to be trained on a large volume of high-quality data. Instead of a "wild-west" situation where designers scrape online data without authorization, a recent turn towards licensing deals will ensure that training data is managed in a conscientious way that is fair to all parties involved.
