Noam Chomsky on Artificial Intelligence: “The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations . . .”
“. . . Let’s stop calling it ‘Artificial Intelligence’ then and call it for what it is and makes ‘plagiarism software’ because ‘It doesn’t create anything, but copies existing works, of existing artists, modifying them enough to escape copyright laws. . . .’”

And that plagiarism should cost them. AI companies should be paying for the intellectual property that they are feeding into their AIs because it then becomes the product it produces.
