AI Did Not Pick Your Pocket

The word theft is doing far too much heavy lifting in the artificial-intelligence debate.

A writer uses a tool to help with grammar. Someone says the word “theft”. A musician uses an instrument to try out a song. Someone says “theft” again. A pastor uses a language model to organize notes. Someone says “theft” once more. People make judgments before thinking about the facts. For some people “AI” is not a type of technology but something that is already bad.

This is not being serious about what’s right and wrong. It is just being careless.

People need to think about the facts before making judgments about Artificial Intelligence.

There are least four things to consider: how the model was made, what the user asked for what the system produced and how that was used. A company might obtain training data improperly. The user did nothing wrong. A user might misuse a system by inputting stolen lyrics. The model might accidentally produce something which the user then discards. It might also produce something that truly copies someone Work and should not be shared. These involve people and questions about what is right and wrong about Artificial Intelligence.

The big companies that make these platforms know about these differences. Sunos rules say users cannot put in material they do not have the rights to use or ask the system to make something that would be against the law. They also say they might block requests that use names of artists or copyrighted terms. So if someone asks for a song in the style of 3 Doors Down Sunos might say no. Other companies, like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google also say they do not allow uses that break intellectual property rules. Anthropic even says its filters are meant to stop the system from copying existing work about Artificial Intelligence.

Do these rules mean no model can ever do something about Artificial Intelligence? No. Sometimes locks fail. Filters can miss things. Companies can err. Courts can rule against them. It is not honest to break the rules on purpose. Then claim the system is flawed, about Artificial Intelligence.

That is where this argument gets more complicated and hurts the idea that all Artificial Intelligence use’s theft.
