Benefit of AI? (lemmy.world)

Maybe I'm seeing shadows in the clouds, but it seems like AI means a lot more people have been building open source tools.

I'm an AI skeptic, but I'm wondering if this can help undermine some of the shit software industry. Most AI tools sold by companies have an open source alternative.

I'm thinking that maybe AI will accidentally allow the private person to build free tools and reduce the market value of sold tools.

Personally, I have stopped contributing to open source as much because I know that any code I write will be stolen by scrapers to be fed to LLMs without regard to licensing.

Aren't you worried about you posts on Lemmy being stolen too?

I guess it sucks somewhat, but my comments are worth a lot less than my code, and with any luck, the model will become more leftist from my influence :p

Hm, not sure. Big Corp can generate their own datasets now, and all have 'free' versions and paying coding users to milk (I suspect them of training on everything), so maybe you mostly block smaller open source/open data models from training material ?

It seems to me that openness makes the masses moves faster than closed Corps.

I don't know - just thinking out loud..
