“The plagiarism machine will break without more things to plagiarize.”

"How are we supposed to win the race if we can't cheat?!"

To be fair, they’re not wrong. We need to find a legal comprise that satisfies everyone

What's wrong with the sentiment expressed in the headline? AI training is not and should not be considered fair use. Also, copyright laws are broken in the west, more so in the east.

We need a global reform of copyright. Where copyrights can (and must) be shared among all creators credited on a work. The copyright must be held by actual people, not corporations (or any other collective entity), and the copyright ends after 30 years or when the all rights holders die, whichever happens first. That copyright should start at the date of initial publication. The copyright should be nontransferable but it should be able to be licensed to any other entity only with a majority consent of all rights holders. At the expiration of the copyright the work in question should immediately enter the public domain.

And fair use should be treated similarly to how it is in the west, where it's decided on a case-by-case basis, but context and profit motive matter.

Good

But I can't pirate copyrighted materials to "train" my own real intelligence.

Musk has an AI project. Techbros have deliberately been sucking up to Trump. I’m pretty sure AI training will be declared fair use and copyright laws will remain the same for everybody else.

Sounds good, fuck em

Good, end this AI bullshit, it has little upsides and a metric fuckton of downsides for the common man

The only way this would be ok is if openai was actually open. make the entire damn thing free and open source, and most of the complaints will go away.

"We can't succeed without breaking the law. We can't succeed without operating unethically."

I'm so sick of this bullshit. They pretend to love a free market until it's not in their favor and then they ask us to bend over backwards for them.

Too many people think they're superior. Which is ironic, because they're also the ones asking for handouts and rule bending. If you were superior, you wouldn't need all the unethical things that you're asking for.

Okay.

It was fun while it lasted.

For someone.

I presume.

Fine by me. Can it be over today?

Training that AI is absolutely fair use.

Selling that AI service that was trained on copyrighted material is absolutely not fair use.

Why does Sam have such a punchable face?

That's a good litmus test. If asking/paying artists to train your AI destroys your business model, maybe you're the arsehole. ;)
