I stand by my opinion that learning systems training on copyrighted materials isn’t the problem, it’s companies super eager to replace human workers with automation (or replace skilled workers with cheaper, unskilled workers).
I mean it’s the heart of the issue.
OpenAI isn’t even the big issue regarding this. It’s other companies that are developing and training specialized LLMs on their own employees. These companies have the capital to take the loss on the project because in their eyes it’ll eventually turn into a gain as long as they get it right eventually.
GPT and OpenAI is just a minor distraction in regards to what is being cooked up behind the scenes, but I still wouldn’t give them a free pass for that either.
It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.

This has nothing to do with copyright.

Piracy is already considered illegal and persecuted by authorities, so nothing changes for the public in the first case.
There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.
Did not know that, then we are f*** either way. Boycott them all, and a pirate’s life for me then.
