A user argues ethics with a model over text already in its weights
yacinelearning · x · 2026-07-29
The author describes an exasperated back-and-forth about whether it is morally acceptable to extract a piece of text from a public website, arguing that the content was already included in the model’s weights through Common Crawl.
The punchline is that the model is debating the ethics of doing the task at all, while the author insists it has effectively already learned from the same data. It reads as a classic AI-era prompt/refusal comedy clip about training data and copyright.
