Given the AI's ability to keep the entirety of the source PDF in context as it answers questions or brainstorms with you, it seems like an interesting way to bounce ideas around. But I wanted to hear your take as a creator before diving in." How do you feel about the AI models being able to ingest your PDFs when they're opened up in Adobe Acrobat?

First of all, so I believe strongly that my products are for you. If you feel like you're getting a value out of it, then that product is yours and you can do what you want with it other than like putting the product on the open internet so people can steal the product directly.

I would not be surprised if my stuff is already inside some of these models anyway, or certainly material that is relevant to those models through my blog and everywhere else, that it's probably in there too.

So I don't think you, I am not upset with you if you decide that you wanted your AI whatever to read the books or the PDFs or whatever that I offer to help you answer your questions and stuff like that. I'm mad at the creators of the AI algorithms in general for something similar to this, which is they also harvested my entire website, which I release under Creative Commons license.

And the only thing they need to do in order to work with that Creative Commons license is cite me. And they won't do that, right? They cannot cite the sources. The models, as far as I can tell, cannot actually cite sources. When they say they're citing sources, I'm pretty sure they're lying. They're running like a Google search behind it and coming up with the sites.

They're not actually getting it from the same data. I'm pretty convinced of that. So all of the problems that I have with generative AI, I've talked about on the show before, I'm not, this is probably not the one I'm really worried about, right? Like I didn't even block the AI bots from scraping my site. I don't think I did, but I do think that what they're doing is pretty immoral.

And I think that like the big one for me, it's one thing for one of these big providers to generate a model that they then release under an open license for other people to use. That I think I have a much better time recognizing.

It's when companies like ChatGPT are valued at billions of dollars and then claim like, well, we don't really owe anything to the people that generated all of the training material that we were able to get that billions of dollars from. That pisses me off.
