alt Hacker NewsThere's a lot of problems with AI that need some carefully thought out regulation, but infringing on rights granted by IP law still isn't theft.

And it doesn't even infringe on IP rights.

Agreed. Regulate AI? Sure, though I have zero faith politicians will do it competently. But more IP protection? Hard pass. I'd rather abolish patents.

It's theft. But not all IP theft, or theft in general, is morally equivalent. A poor person stealing a loaf of bread or pirating a movie they couldn't afford is just. A corrupt elite stealing poor farmers' food or stealing content from small struggling creators is not.
