      Hey, sorry this is off topic, but why am I seeing a lot of people post anti commercial ai licenses in their comments? I tried researching but I just get the page that your link goes to

        I’d like to know too; I suspect it’s something to do with not “allowing” AI to scrape the content but I feel like (if that’s the case) it’s as effective as posting that copypasta on Facebook about revoking permissions (it doesn’t nothing).

          Oh man, can’t wait to post a full book of the lord of the rings as a facebook post and make it legal for facebook to use it as training data. Words can absolutely be copyrighted/licensed, otherwise books and scientific journal copyright/license is BS too. Big company however, usually has EULA that states you as a user grant the company the right to basically do whatever the fuck they want to do with your content. As much as I’d like that to be a reality especially for millions of research paper, but the current reality is that copyright law sucks ass.

        In order for AI to work, it needs a lot of training data. I personally have nothing against AI, just against the commercial variants whose models that aren’t made available to the public.

        Of course just putting a license in text doesn’t provide automatic protection. It still needs detection of infringement and enforcement of the license. There’s an ongoing case against at least one commercial AI called Github CoPilot which could set a precedent for ignoring licenses.

        Anti Commercial-AI license
