> I think this post's arguments are mostly flawed, but without getting into that, my problem with "AI" is that it's just fundamentally antisocial - it's built on using the work of billions of people in a way that they would not like it being used.

I think any argument like this has to contend with the fact that our entire industry is rife with projects we almost all support at least a few of, that use or enable other people to use other people's work in ways they would not like it being used. From Napster, to emulators, to jailbreaks, to API compatible replacements, DeCSS, any fair-use defense of copyright infringement, community splits of open source projects, DRM stripping tools, CD rippers, tape recorders, even down to the humble search engine. It seems hypocritical for us to suddenly now develop a support for moral rights when the shoe is on the other foot.
