MichaelJapan Decides That Copyright Doesn't Apply to AI Training
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.
donutsAI has no personal agency, lived experiences, or independent creative input.
Humans don't have the ability to synthesize thousands of pages of text in a matter of minutes.
Any analogy toward human learning or behavior is shallow and flawed.
This is why humans are involved in the process. Your counterargument is shallow and flawed
You do realize individuals can train neural networks on their own hardware, right?
Good luck training something that rivals big tech, especially now that they're all putting "moats" around their data...
We, the little people, don't have the data, the storage, the processing power, the RAM, and least but not least, the cash, to compete with them.
At any rate, if you train your NN using appropriately licensed or public domain data, more power to you. But if you feed a machine a bunch of other people's writing, artwork, music, etc., please understand that you will never truly own the output.
Direct your ire where it belongs - at capitalism not technology

I am.
It is only the profit maximizing hyper capitalists who intend to use AI to exploit workers and rip off artists. I have no problem with the technology behind AI, I just don't think people should be using it as a tool for continual, industrialized mass exploitation of the little people (like you and me) who actually own the data that they put online.
