Style imitation isn't copyright infringement, but it's potentially disastrous for artists and studios. Can anything stop AI companies from doing it? I wrote about it for The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
If AI chatbots are getting better, why can't tech companies measure their progress? I wrote about a serious problem with the industry's benchmark testing. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
Dialogue from more than 139,000 movies and TV shows is being used to train generative AI. I wrote about it for The Atlantic and built a search tool for screenwriters, directors, and actors to find their work. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Is generative AI a good thing for our culture? Does it help spread knowledge or does it impede creativity and collaboration? These are central questions in the ongoing lawsuits against AI companies, which I just wrote about for @TheAtlantic. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
A behavior called "memorization" is causing legal problems for generative AI. I wrote about it for @TheAtlantic. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

@IneluctableQuak @_alexreisner @TheAtlantic @NewDirections @fsgbooks Good heavens. I hope this doesn't encourage proliferation of 'veritable cathedral of ice' in AI composition

Great response from @MargaretAtwood to my piece in @TheAtlantic. "...they could at least buy me a coffee." theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
