Wait, as AI learns the same way as humans, and humans are thus basically AI does that mean I can just pirate everything? This will change... nothing really.
- You’re a nobody with no money. No rights for you.
  
  Try being a corporation first.
  
  But I am simulating an AI inside my brain and I must train it.
  
  The reason we know it's a good idea to give corporations more rights than humans is simple: corporations have no morals.
If you go that route, then all LLM created content should be inherently FOSS licensed too and all piracy & copyright laws are off the table.
As I've seen it described: "AI provides capital with access to skills, while those who developed those skills are kept away from capital"
- That's the goal. The reality is that it doesn't actually reproduce the skills it imitates well enough to actually give capital access to them, but it does a good enough job imitating them that they're willing to give it a chance.
what if my AI is basically a copy and paste tool? it just copies your work and stores it until someone wants it and then it gives it to them. it's extremely smart it can produce realistic works that it knows about perfectly
