 Wow! 
Did you know that you can give a book to chat GPT ask it to translate on any other language you prefer and tell to make it audio book and it will generate you the file 👀 This is the next level! 
 Hmm. This is going to violate copyright laws in most countries. I’d be amazed if the major players haven’t already begun to block it. 
 Going to be hard to stop it though. Industry will have to adapt, like when digital music sharing came about.  
 Absolutely. However, my years in music tech taught me that it won’t stop incumbents from declaring jihad first. 
 Haha no doubt 🤣🤣 
 True, but some writer's like Gigi encourage people to translate his work to other languages. AI just makes it easier. 
 💯 
 💯 Whether encouraged or not, it will happen. And it should happen. Information wants to be free from constraints, and given the opportunity it will be.  
 It'll be interesting to see this with on-device AI and some pdf you have already downloaded.  
 I imagine that would be less of an issue for purposes of copyright. Usually it only becomes an issue if you’re distributing the derivative material to others.  
 Information wants to be free, and lawyers want to win cases. 😉 
 My point was that if you are copyright owner of your book and want to translate it into Ukrainian language and make audiobook you don’t have to hire translators and then @TheGuySwann for example 😅 
 It’s a powerful tool. 🎯 
 100%
Hard to be bearish😃 
 Endless possibilities endless.  
 💯 
 Damn! That's cool. 
 Yeap 
 AI -- don't do it -- really bad privacy implications (and please don't say "I have nothing to hide...")
 
 People like him dont care about privacy, they'd rather be lured by the convenience.

To the OP: you can run your own open source models on your computer using ollama.ai and never have to give any of your data to microsuck. 
 “People like him don’t care about privacy” how you came to such conclusion? 
 I was saying that only to rile up a reaction my friend :)

I know you usually fight for what's right so thats why I was really surprised to see you 100% fanboy of chatgpt.  

Seen the post by snowden about openai? They just appointed an ex NSA director to the board.

Stay away from chatgpt like its the plague.  Ollama.ai and open source like Venice.ai is the way 
 Hah just saw the news. I mean OpenAI is obviously a spy. Open source AI will win but we aren’t there. I use ChatGPT rarely and under 🔥 email accounts with VPN always on, that’s the best what can be done in this regard. 
 Gotcha.

Thats being said, they measure success based on number of users, and so does open source.  So even if you use chatgpt with a triple - hop vpn and a usb-booted linux distro you're still supporting big tech.

Use Venice.ai and support alternatives.  They are measured based on users too.  Use them, even if it is less convenient.   
 User numbers are not my concern, I just don't want to feed the beast. And of course, the very creepy privacy factor. They block me when I use VPN and I can't get a sms4sats phone number verification to work.

The need for verification is total bullshit, there is no purpose except to identify and build profiles on their users. 
 Yeah I was saying you are feeding the beast by simply using it (anonymously).  The more users a platform has the more it can get funding and investors.  Just by using it you are helping it grow.  

Again, you may want to consider using Venice.ai 
 They use our inputs to further train the AI, and build a profile on us (anonymous now, but always linkable in the future if they make a correlation through pervasive spying across the web). In my opinion, it is second only to literally speaking with the devil. 
 Followed! 
 I did not know that but I will try this for sure! 
 Chatgpt is really cool, just like any other big tech product.  You're forging your own chains by using it.  Get ollama.ai and start using pribacy-loving ai.

That or use vanice.ai

Stop being a mindless chatgpt user and slave to big tech. 
 Venice.ai /typo 
 AI will end a lot of jobs

 Does the ai add a bunch of gay into the book? 
 If you wrote a 1-3 step by step guide how to do that, it would go viral 

You could also slip in an orange 🍊 pill 💊 or two along the way 👌 
 Get a PDF file of the book give it to chat ask to translate on the language you prefer then ask to make it audiobook
