That’s a nice sentence you’ve written there, but what exactly is it supposed to mean?
Is it supposed to give the false impression that OpenAI and Meta’s actions have been equivalent with respect to releasing their models? And if it isn’t an attempt to mislead in such a way, then what exactly does it mean?
OpenAI is absolutely a misleading name because they have lax policies on human inputs (stealing everyone’s IP and not even letting you truly delete your account) but then turn around and say “developing models that compete” (vague as fuck) on OpenAI chatbot outputs is “illegal, harmful, or abusive” (if it is, they only act like it when it benefits them)
I guess they’re trying to call out OpenAI more than group them with Meta
You don't want AI data to be open? You don't want massive libraries of open knowledge spanning all cultures accessible finally to anyone in the world in any language?
Yes, some data is open and the creators of it want it to be shared openly.
Other people want their copyrights upheld and for there to be no intellectual property appropriation (theft) of their creations.
There is also the issue of aggregation. For example, Wikipedia is an open and free aggregation of knowledge. But it also cites, quotes, and links out to sources which may be copyrighted works.
Note that Wikipedia has very formal guidance as to how to avoid and handle instances of plagiarism.
AI needs to face the fact that it is rife with intellectual property theft. It needs standards for infringed copyright removal. It needs standards for the defense of trademarks. It needs privacy standards to prevent the unauthorized use of personal data, images, recordings and other works from people around the globe.
If AI is permitted to simply glut itself on every artistic creation and every human on the planet, sans limitations, it is basically the equivalent of a crime spree.
