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

@catsalad then that "#AI" #industry is as much of a criminal enterprise as #piracy in a legal sense, but worse!

  • There are very few things worse and all of them create direct victims!
@kkarhan yeah, piracy is sometimes justified, but not what so-called “ai” companies are doing

@jakeyounglol @kkarhan Their type of copyright infringment isn't the same as copying a movie/music/game to watch/listen/play it, that isnt stealing

It is more like copying it and selling it, except the scale they are doing it warrants some of the largest investments in history

Which makes it a federal felony, just don't expect the law to be applied equally

A person will go to prison for filming a movie in a theater, but they can raise an amount of capital rarely seen in history, and walk free
