    We do need copyright reform, but also fuck “AI.” I couldn’t care less about them infringing on proprietary works, but they’re also infringing on copyleft works and for that they deserve to be shut the fuck down.

    Either that, or all the output of their “AI” needs to be copyleft.

      Not just the output. One could construct that training your model on GPL content which would have it create GPL content means that the model itself is now also GPL.

      It’s why my company calls GPL parasitic, use it once and it’s everywhere.

      This is something I consider to be one of the main benefits of this license.

        It already is.

        If you mean that the output of AI is already copyleft, then sure, I completely agree! What I meant to write that we “need” is legal acknowledgement of that factual reality.

        The companies running these services certainly don’t seem to think so, however, so they need to be disabused of their misconception.

        I apologize if that was unclear. (Not sure the vitriol was necessary, but whatever.)
