@arstechnica Seems like a CYOA thing tbh until legislation is clearer. Steam could face legal liability for not doing this potentially. However, there are some models that don't have this issue of questionable copyright, and I presume those are allowed

@DRJ1000 @arstechnica What? This is seriously one of the better AI rules I’ve seen. I love the current explosion of AI, and the best thing to do now is get models trained better. We lose most of the opposition by not training models on legally murky shit.
