An update to Google’s privacy policy suggests that the entire public internet is fair game for it’s AI projects. If Google can read your words, assume they belong to the company now, and expect that they’re nesting somewhere in the bowels of a chatbot.
Nothing especially new. I’m surprised it has taken this long to decide to use it for AI. At the same time, I hope they have a team ready to deal with all the copyright claims. If youtube was a minefield, AI will be. They’re stealing IP directly and recycling it. If Google becomes AI, then Google will make itself obsolete. We use Google to search for answers by others, not to be force-fed a single answer.
I think it might be really hard to do that. Looking at a picture you can see and pinpoint different styles quite easily. Writing styles don’t differ that much. There are some authors that stand out like Terry Pratchett, but I don’t think the average Joe Autho’ has a chance to get anything out of that. On the other hand may be, you can get some money out of your scientific papers. They should be quite unique.
