the singer-songwriter told the BBC in an interview that is airing tomorrow.The British government is toying with the idea of letting tech firms use copyrighted material to assist in the training of AI models — allowing for copyright infringement if used for AI programs.

Grant’s mysterious character trapping two young Mormon missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) in his home for a series of dangerous tests of faith.Woods added that generative AI is “an algorithm jumbling a bunch of s— together and then spitting it out as art. It’s not human, and it’s borderline theft on some level.“I think this idea that an algorithm can just scrape all of human history and art off the internet, repackage it, regurgitate it, spit it out and somebody else can use that to create profit … I don’t know why that’s legal.“It’s important for people to start talking about the need for human intersection in art, business and every facet of this life, because we’re on the precipice of every job on planet Earth being replaced overnight.
