All it would take for AI to completely collapse is a ruling in the US saying these companies have to licence the content they used to train these tools.

They simply would never reach a sustainable business model if they had to fairly compensate all the people who wrote, drew, edited, sang or just created the content they use.

Simply being forced to respect attribution and licenses would kill them. Will that ruling ever happen? Maybe not. Should it? I think so.

@thelinuxEXP This is trickier than you are making it out to be. When an object is used to train a network, it isn't being copied. But information regarding that object is captured in the network 'anonymously' and 'abstractly'. So, as an analogy - you definitely own your beard. But do you also have a right to a picture of your beard that I took in the wild? Or if someone wrote an article describing a beard that looks like yours... Do you also own that article?

@vartak I do own the rights to a picture of my beard that you took, yeah ;) That’s the general rule for pictures of people and buildings

@thelinuxEXP No you don't, unless if it was a portrait. You are missing the point. You would have to prove that it was your beard from a scrambled set of pixels.
