I mean, is copyright not specifically designed (by the big corporations mind you) to default to not allowing content to be used unless permission is explicitly given by the rights holder? So shouldn't the answer to whether any content can be used is a big NO unless the author or distributor specifically allows it to be used?
There's this thing called fair use .
The usage is clearly limited as can be determined by size of trained materials versus size of models. I would argue the use is transformative enough, after all you got from text/image inputs to effectively a tool that can produce texts and images.
If I write a story too similar to a Disney movie I will get sued, yet this is okay? Wtf
I'm not a copyright lawyer or a regular lawyer or even a well-informed citizen really, so I couldn't really say. Certainly in this case, if a project is under a more permissive license, I imagine the intention could be argued either way as far as AI is concerned.
