ai, speech act theory

(but allison, you might say, surely the effect of any one individual who contributed to gen AI software or training data is too diffuse to matter or be traced! to which i say horsèd-shit. if we can make celebrities out of gen AI CEOs and pay gen AI engineers nine-figure salaries and literally make a database of people who are owed money because their books were included in the training data, we can talk concretely about individual agency on the part of gen AI tool creators)

ai, blah blah, last thing i promise

what really chaps my hide is that creators of AI products have very publicly made changes to how their chatbots etc function, changes executed through concrete technical means, and even reveled in their ability to do this in order to achieve political goals (e.g. musk and grok). but still commentators and theorists (whose arguments i might otherwise agree with!) are out here claiming AI outputs have no authorship and there's no one to hold accountable for them
