Pope's AI Encyclical Draws Criticism For Omitting Generative Model Data Theft

It is deeply disappointing that the Pope’s Encyclical Letter on AI didn’t mention the theft that most generative AI models are built on. What happened to ‘Thou shalt not steal’? We should not stay silent on - and therefore, by omission, tacitly accept - the biggest theft of creative work in history, simply because it has already happened. We should call it what it is, and hold the people behind it to account. Otherwise the cycle of theft will continue, with this technology and the next.
