AI, Artificial Intelligence, isn't intelligence at all -- it's stealing

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X have taken all public posts, photos and comments and put it in their AI machines to be mixed and thrown back up in any way they choose. Most users were unaware of this. It is a violation of the public trust.

It's called "data scraping" and the new AI search chats have scraped all your public posts, comments and photos on social media, and dumped them in their money-making machines. Twitter/X's Grok, an AI search, confirms that it is using copy-righted news articles. Meanwhile, authors are in court, suing over the theft of their online books.

AI is not intelligence it is theft.
