BBCFor Christmas, I received an interesting gift from a friend – my best -selling book.
“Technology for Dolls” (the wonderful title) bears my name and photo on its cover, and it has glowing reviews.
However, it was written by Amnesty International, with some simple claims for me made by my friend Janet.
It is an interesting and very funny reading in parts. But it also exposes a lot, and it is somewhere between the book of self -assistance and a set of tales.
It mimics my writing style, but it is also a little frequent, and is very lengthy. Janet’s claims may have exceeded the data collection.
Several sentences “as a pioneering technology journalist …” – Cringe – which was possible to scrape them from the online CV.
There is also a frequent mysterious hallucinite in the form of my cat (I do not have pets). There is a metaphor in almost every page – some of them are more random than others.
There are dozens of companies that provide AI’s writing services. My book was from Bookbyanyone.
When I contacted the CEO Adir Machatch, his headquarters in Israel, he told me that he sold about 150,000 dedicated books, especially in the United States, since its axis of collecting travel evidence created from artificial intelligence in June 2024.
The costs of an ordinary cover version of the best selling selling from 240 pages 26 pounds sterling. The company uses its AI tools to create it, based on a large open source language model.
I am not asking you to buy my book. In fact, you can not only Janet, which you created, can order any other copies.
There is currently no obstacle to anyone who creates one in the name of anyone, including celebrities – although Mr. Mashiach says there are handrails about offensive content. Each book contains the evacuation of a printed responsibility that shows that it is fictional, created by artificial intelligence, and is designed “only to bring humor and joy.”
Legally, the copyright belongs to the company, but Mr. Mashiach stresses that the product aims to a “gifted gift”, and the books are not sold more.
He hopes to expand its scope, generate different types such as science fiction, and perhaps providing a CV service. It is designed to be a light form of AI for consumers-selling goods created from artificial intelligence to human customers.
It is a little terrifying if you, like me, are written for a living. Not the least because it may have taken less than a minute to be born, and it is definitely, certainly in some parts, it looks like me just.
Gety picturesMusicians, authors, artists and actors all over the world have expressed their warning about their use to train the Wooing IQ tools that then launch a similar content based on it.
“We must be clear, when we talk about data here, we really mean the works of human creators,” says Ed Newton Rex, founder of the coach, who is carrying out the campaigns of artificial intelligence companies to respect the rights of creators.
“These are books, these are articles, these are pictures. They are artwork. They are records … the complete goal of artificial intelligence training is to learn how to do something, then do more.”
In 2023, the song, which includes sounds created by AI, for Canadian singers, and The Weeknd, became a virus on social media before it was withdrawn from broadcasting platforms because they were not their work and did not agree to it. The course of the path he was trying to nominate for the Grammy Award. Although the artists were fake, he was still very popular.
“I do not think that the use of the initial artificial intelligence should be banned for creative purposes, but I think the obstetric intelligence should be banned for these purposes that are trained in people’s work without permission.” “Artificial intelligence can be very strong, but let’s build it morally and fair.”
In the United Kingdom, some organizations – including the BBC – chose to prevent artificial intelligence developers from hunting their online content for training purposes. Others decided to cooperate – Financial Times has collaborated with Cathgpt Creator Openai, for example.
The UK government is considering a comprehensive reform of the law that would allow artificial intelligence developers to use creative online content to help develop their models, unless rights holders penetrate.
Ed Newton Rex describes this as “madness.”
It indicates that artificial intelligence can make progress in areas such as defense, health care and logistics services without hunting in the work of authors, journalists and artists.
He says: “All these things work without going, changing the law of copyright and destroying ways to live the country,” he says.
Baroneh Kidon, an interstate counterpart in the House of Lords, is strongly inconsistent with the removal of the Acts of Publishing Rights for Amnesty International.
“Creative industries are wealth creators, 2.4 million jobs, and a large group of joy,” says Baroneh, also a consultant to the Ethics Institute at Amnesty International at Oxford University.
“The government undermines one of its best industries to perform the mysterious promise of growth.”
A government spokesman said: “No step will be made until we are fully confident that we have a practical plan that provides all of our goals: increasing control of the occasion to help them license their content, reaching high -quality materials to train AI models in the United Kingdom, and more transparency For those who are appropriate to developers of artificial intelligence.
According to the new UK government’s artificial intelligence plan, a national data library containing public data from a wide range of sources for artificial intelligence researchers will also be provided.
In the United States, the future of federal rules to control artificial intelligence is now in the air after President Trump returned to the presidency.
In 2023 Biden The executive order signed This aims to enhance the safety of artificial intelligence, among other things, companies in the sector required to exchange the details of their systems with the American government before its release.
But that was now Trump canceled. It remains to see what Trump will do instead, but it is said that he wants to face the artificial intelligence sector less organization.
This comes A number of lawsuits Against artificial intelligence companies, especially against Openai, continues in the United States. They were directed by everyone from the New York Times to authors, music marks, and even comic.
They claim that artificial intelligence companies broke the law when they took their content from the Internet without their consent, and used them to train their systems.
Artificial intelligence companies argue that their actions fall under “fair use” and therefore they are exempt. There are a number of factors that can constitute fair use-it is not a direct definition. But the artificial intelligence sector is subject to increased scrutiny on how to collect training data and whether it should pay for it.
If this is not enough to think, the Chinese company Deepsek rocked the artificial intelligence the sector during the past week. The most downloaded free app has become the Apple US App Store.
Deepseek claims to have developed its technology for a simple part of the price of Openai. Its success has sparked security concerns in the United States, and threatens America’s current domination of the sector.
For me and a profession as an author, I think it is now, if I really want to “sell”, I will still have to write it myself. If anything, then the technique of the dolls highlights the current weakness in the tools of obstetric intelligence for the larger projects. It is full of precision and hallucinations, and it may be very difficult to read it in parts because it is very long.
But given how quickly the technology development is, I am not sure of the time when I can remain confident that writing and human editing skills are largely better, better.
