Begun, the open source AI wars have

Training data is the biggest unexploded litigation timebomb right now. Although it will probably be money suing money rather than the overwhelming majority of users whose data was scraped up bar class action. The audit trail on weighting is non-existent. The maths is already free and currently big money is benefitting from it, although the customer benefits are presently debatable. By that I mean: take the AI generated picture accompanying the article - the bulk of the work involved with the article is writing the article itself. AI can copy and collate other original sources but not from primary sources, via phone and email, yet, it'll get there and go wrong a lot, and not without a great deal of prompting and correction. In asymptotic terms it's not the big productivity factor. Nice but not great. Maybe in image editing and a number of other areas it's extremely useful and a time saver. That's not a huge chunk of the world's productivity, which is largely dealing with complicated systems where AI is not a magic bullet. Yet. It could be. LLMs are the start and machine learning, in a more general sense, has been here for decades and is/has been extremely important already. Automation goes way beyond AI.
