"It's not machine fault, it's human fault."

Recently, I read this article about how OpenAI collects the data to train their model: www.businessinsider.com/openai-gptbot-web-crawler-content-creators-ai-bots-2023-8 and it struck my mind.

Tools like ChatGPT is a great tool from the end-user point of view cuz it provides us a great way to get the precise answers as well as suggestions which could be used in our works and saves us a lot of time. But wait … We have access to a great source of knowledge with a very reasonable price. Does it look “too good”? Where does the knowledge come from?

It reminds me the time while I was in the university and working on the thesis. If we are getting the data from any external sources, we have to list them out in the reference. The AI tools crawl the data, aggregate and produce the final results without any references. If you are an author who spent a lot of time to write an article and then “someone” just get & “cook” it to make it become their own thing, how do you feel? Especially when that “someone” does not give you any credit for that? It’s unfair. In the near future, things like “programable SEO” will strike the internet with a lot of AI-generated contents and those ai-made websites/article will easily occult the original contents and we won’t know if something is real or fake. Do you think that it’s a good future? Don’t let the machine control our future. It’s time for human wisdom.

Even I put the title “It’s time to “teach” AI about Ethics” for this article but in fact, it’s about warning human about Ethics cuz we are the ones who trains the AI tools and we must be responsible for that. Be fair to the creators and be fair to the future!

P/S: one day after writing this article, I see this one: https://stackdiary.com/zoom-terms-now-allow-training-ai-on-user-content-with-no-opt-out/ . What the hell is going on??



Keep calm and good things will come!
