    I don’t think they’re wrong in saying that if they aren’t allowed to train on copyrighted works then they will fall behind. Maybe I missed it in the article, but Japan for example has that exact law (use of copyright to train generative AI is allowed).

    Personally I think we need to give them somewhat of an out by letting them do it but then taxing the fuck out of the resulting product. “You can use copyrighted works for training but then 50% of your profits are taxed”. Basically a recognition that the sum of all copyrighted works is a societal good and not just an individual copyright holders.

    Sadly this comes down to OpenAI petitioning Trump, and expecting trump to do anything that could stop a scam like AI is pointless.

    If I had to pay tuition for education (buying text books, pay for classes and stuff), then you have to pay me to train your stupid AI using my materials.

    I need a seamstress AI to take over 10 million seamstress robots so I don’t have to pay 100million seamstresses for fruit of the loom underwear… Could you tech it how to do double well and then back up at each end with some zigzags? For free? I mean everyone knows zigzag!

      Agreed… although I would go a step further and say distributing the LLM model or the results of use (even if done without cost) is not fair use, as the training materials weren’t licensed.

        Ultimatelly it’s “Doing Research that advances knowledge for everybody” that should be allowed free use of copyrighted materials, whils activities for direct or indirect commercial gains (included Research whose results are Patented and then licensed for a fee) should not, IMHO.

      Oh, so now you’re just going to surrender our precious natural resources to the Imperialist Chinese?!

      Guys, I think we’ve got a Wumao over here. Someone get what’s left of the FBI to arrest him and show his ass the fucking door.
