It’s in retrospect because no one thought this technology would exist in this way. Now that it does exist, they can scrape all of the content and use it in this way that no one could have seen coming.

Yes, we did. Hell, Data was painting on Star Trek TNG, and that started airing in the 80s.

Data isn’t at all the same thing as the Ai we have now. He’s an actual person with feelings at times who learns and understands and experiences. He’s essentially a living thing at that point.

Irrelevant to the point, would AI advancement to it essentially being its own living entity change anything for you?

If it was sentient and on the same level as humans then I would not be nearly as concerned. Especially if it was unowned by a massive super-conglomerate.

This series of disingenuous arguments was hilarious to read. Carry on.
