    It’s not theft. Nothing is taken, no-one is deprived of their work, and no copies are even made

      It takes people’s collective work and then requires those same people to pay to use it. It allows already mega wealthy companies to get even richer by selling people’s own creativity back to them.

      I also see a lot of privacy issues - the fact that let loose on a specific data set (like Facebook) it then knows anything about anyone. Even if I don’t use Facebook myself because I hate it - if someone would congratulate my spouse with the 10th birthday of our son Chris, A.I. now knows I have a son, born on this day in 2015, his name is Chris. That fact isn’t stored in a database where it’s easily erased. It’s part of a probability vector in an artificial brain, where it can’t be removed even if I request the source data to be deleted. This is actually what worries me more, for all the good AI can do, there is a lot more evil. If the Nazis would have this in 1940, there would be no resistance movement. It would be trivial to see who would be part of it and who would be their families and friends.
