The AI industry won't survive if we have to ask artists for permission!

@catsalad the problem with the ai copyright argument is that ai training is a inherently transformative process. No single work in the training data has clear impact on the ai as a whole. It is only with the entire training items, their categorization/labeling, that produces a meaningful change.

Consider Photo Mosaics, ai are in a similar copyright grey zone.

@Rin3d @catsalad And most importantly, the same Copyright Act that protects movies and music would apply to them, and once they go over 2,500 USD dollars in sales it becomes a federal felony.

This isn't even just about potential civil suits.

If the law was applied equally, they would have to face charges and anyone else who profited from it, like building tools using the data, would all be criminally liable too

Reason being the music+movie industry have been expanding the scope for a decade+
