No be small matter, my people! E be like say dem big media companies for this world don arrange where dem go sue AI companies like say na bread wey dey scatter! Dem dey vex as AI dey collect gist wey dem don gather for years and just dey remix am like say dem no go fit catch dem. Imagine, AI wey no even sabi how to chop any news, dey steal from dem like say na small picking wey no fit hold plate!
So, the big boys wey dey run media houses like The New York Times and Chicago Tribune don stand up as warriors for the people wey dem collect plenty money to give us real news. Dis whole show dey create wahala for dem market, as people dey pick gist for social media free of charge, while dem dey pay to sell ads for paper wey go just land for our hand wey full with plenty jargons!
Just look am, I buy banana last week and you no go believe say I no carry ad from Times or anywhere to enter shop. Na hunger carry me go shop! E no make sense for dem to advertise banana for paper wey people dey dey gather like say na gold, but dem go scatter plenty money to talk about the iPhone and BMW. Na so e be, gist no plenty pass people way confusing first!
But wait, dis na the new gist for town. AI don come mash everything for ground! Dem dey download gists from newspaper like say na freebie. Dem go just twist the words small, and bam! Na plagiarism wey dem dey call ‘information revolution.’ Just like dem dey steal Uncle Homer‘s stories wey don dey waka since 8th century BC, wey dem no pay am one kobo!
The media landscape don change like chameleon! From blog to podcast, na wetin we dey see now. We dey carry news online free, and na person go fit follow that AI wey no think for head. Dem dey steal our gist and nobody fit call dem out because dem no get supermarket for corner!
Now, as dem dey sue AI companies, e mean say dem dey try for people wey dey work as journalists and we go dey show dem how real news dey flow. E good to see say our big media houses dey try fight back for the right way. Na so we fit make dem know say journalists get right to their words. If iPlaylist fit collect plenty money for streaming, then why dem no go pay for stealing our sweet words?
Homer, that legendary gist giver, fit just dey anywhere dey laugh as the world wey we dey today no too far from him time when poets dey waka dey tell stories. But today, make we no allow AI plan any hustle. Na true journalism we want! No more copying and pasting, make them pay us for our hard work. Na our time to shine!
