  1. It's not learning it's copying without attributing

  2. Those nostrils look like worm holes into the dimension of manipulation subversion and every other satanic practice made normal by the unchosen ones. Whats the Talmud again?

  3. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣even AI learns from history 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🤣let's see how the enlightened ones tell us how the AI should behave.

  4. Awwwww. Look at the subversive human race kvetching. I believe this is all they can do😂😂😂 can any one show me anywhere in history that they actually labored for anything? I hope they did steal from her. They have stolen every nations culture and defiled it with diversity! Except for Israel !!!🤔 let the kvetching begin

  5. This lawsuit is funny. Not only is it pointless. OpenAI used ‘open sourced data’ (aka stuff on the internet such as articles and quotes.) it’s so funny. Now she gets her 15 minutes of fame from nation television. Pathetic

  6. She cant make money anymore so shes going to start suing people now

  7. copyright all your chat..seems free speach counts for AI….but not humans

  8. I want AI to just go away. Seems like there's way more downside than upside to it.

  9. Hopefully this establishes a precedent that ends A.I.

  10. Right now AI is in the stage where it needs traditional data created by humans to learn anything. However, the next major phase of AI will come when it can learn to produce and understand content without any structured human generated data. At that point artists and authors won't have a case against AI. If your becoming obsolete the answer is to upskill yourself. Not sue the pants off everyone because you want a piece of there success.

  11. Thank you Sarah Silverman!

  12. I like this development. More should come forward. Not that I am against AI but not anyone industry or anybody should have a monopoly of anything. Policing AI is not bad, it's like what we do in life — we also watch we do or what others do to us (using our content, data, etc)

  13. Wa everyone else is a pawn

  14. Show the pic of Sarah in blackface.

  15. Sarah's gotta replenish her bank account. She's been pretty irrelevant for some time now.

  16. A.I. can't be sued when A.I. is our collective thoughts. It's like God punshing God….doesn't make sense to sue an A.I. or company harvesting our thoughts and ideas.

  17. A nobody everyone hates and wants to punch out.

  18. Woke on woke crime

  19. It can steal your info from your phone.

  20. It’s an interesting and valid argument. If Ai is left to learn from YouTube comments then things would turn sour quicker than usual.

  21. Hahaha!remember when she posted a video saying utility markers where swastikas?duh,duh,duh.She was very angry at what happened to poor Jussie as well.

  22. Nobody wants Sarah Silverman's horrible jokes. She is talentless and made a career by sleeping with big players in the entertainment industry.

  23. Why on Earth would anyone want to steal Sarah Silverman's content?
