Your imagination is not making money out of it. The Idea that openAI is making money because they use the work of others is unsetling. What you wish for is an OpenAI monopole on the size of google with control over creativity… sound like a dystopia
Why is that unsettling? People make money off of other people’s ideas all the time. The boundary of when this is allowed and when it isn’t is pretty arbitrary.
I do make money off of it. I just understand that I need to blend enough of other people’s ideas and change names until it’s considered a “unique idea” which, of course, no idea ever is.
It’s a strange thought really. Deep down we need to admit that there is little “new ideas” resources this late in society, we document so much. Almost all ideas were formed from old ideas. Are they copyright infringement? Make up a new TV show, or invent a new story for a book, and chances are there already is a show or a book that is really similar. One that you may have read or seen and forgotten about, until it’s pointed out that your story is the same as the one you read.
I don’t even think saying “this late in society” is doing it justice. The human mind has always grown in proportion to its input. Cavemen weren’t any dumber than us, they just didn’t have as many ideas to build off of. As availability of information has increased so has our ability to progress rapidly. Just like an LLM getting a larger data set.
