Japan Decides That Copyright Doesn't Apply to AI Training - PerthChat

The absolute right decision.
To me it’s essentially the same as someone reading a book or watching a movie when the AI learns from those examples.
The problem is that the AI can print the book word for word if you ask the right questions and at that point it’s breaking copyright again but that’s not a problem with the learning part but with how AI has no concept of understanding context at all
You can easily get photoshop to reproduce one of Mondrain’s paintings. That’s on the user not the tool, i fail to see why the same doesnt apply to the tool of generative AI.
You can’t easily tell it to replicate any painting for you - with current AI you can do that with almost any book it trained with
A human being with really good/photographic memory can do the same.
