Really nuanced take here...I like that you are open to alternative considerations and attentive to the metaphors we are adopting to make sense of generative AI. My takeaway from this piece is that we needed to update our laws and our language about intellectual property before generative AI got so exciting and now, as we start using these new "cultural technologies" it will become imperative, scarily so.

Hi Rob! Thank you so much! Yeah--it's been gnawing at me and after a few interactions in the last week, I was like, "oh, I guess I do have thoughts on this that might be somewhat coherent!".

yeah--I have lots of concerns about who copyright really benefits in the long term!

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!
