If everyone who writes a comment on this page will send a fee to Dr Seuss for learning from his books to read and speak, then I will pay attention to their views if they oppose AI learning from published sources. But if you aren't willing to pay everyone that you learn from, for every word that comes out of your mouth, then I don't see why AI should have to pay either. Next, are we going to charge aliens for learning English by reading the radio waves that are being sent into deep space?

Somehow you’ve convinced yourself that AI is sentient and learning from influences. It’s not. It has a database of pirated data that it uses to essentially copy/paste responses from.

By no means do I think AI is sentient. Stop putting words in my mouth. Also, I do not believe that sentience absolves an entity from paying fees for using data that it has absorbed from other beings, as you seem to be implying there. And I totally disagree with your explanation of AI. It is not a "copy" of data. In fact, every single time I use AI to get some data, it ALWAYS goes to the internet to look things up, because it hasn't "memorized the internet" as simpletons think it has.

Up until now, the courts have been the entity that decides whether a "work" that has been "used for profit" has "infringed" on someone else's work. That's a perfectly valid system for going forward. AI doesn't change anything here. If anyone uses AI to write a plagiarized work, then the persons who benefit from that plagiarization should be suable. But we shouldn't stop AI from creating fair use derivatives of other people's work, just as you shouldn't be sued for writing a song that sounds vaguely similar to an ABBA song. If you can take advantage of "fair use", then so can other people who use AI for the same thing. After all, half the videos on Youtube are taking advantage of fair use laws, by using someone else's video or audio.

I believe that Call Screening could signal the death of spam calls.

One nice thing about living in Canada is that if a spam message comes from the government in English-only, then you already know it's spam. Our federal government always uses English and French, (in their text and in their links) and so do some provincial governments. Spammers haven't realized this yet.
