When I was young, the household would receive a bunch of physical catalogs from shops in or near my hometown. We would all sit around the coffee table going through them and looking for good deals.
If all these catalogs had a build-in tracker so that the sender could magically measure how long the catalog was in the mailbox, if it was read before ending up in the trash, how many people in the household saw the catalog, how many pages were seen and so on... we would all have freaked out and burned the catalogs up at once!
But now that kind of surveillance is just normal. Sad.
Isn't that basically what a constitution is for? A constitutional monarchy limits the power of the king, and a constitutional democracy limits the power of the elected government?
It's legal because there's no law saying AI isn't allowed to copy popular artists, or give legal, medical and physiological advice to random people without possesing any kind of formal qualifications for giving said advice.
If I hired a hundred starving artists and a thousand students to provide the same services, my company would quickly be sued into the ground.
But just fire the people and add AI instead, and then I'm magically no longer responsible for the output. The picture becomes murky and we start to discuss how the AI was trained, if the training data was sourced legally and so on and so forth.
