Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

  But the large corporations are handling that side of things already. If the lawsuit goes in the favour of copyright holders, AI companies would in theory have to do something to avoid using copyrighted material, or pay for the usage. Of course, there’s every chance that they may end up avoiding using copyrighted material from anyone big enough to fight back, and just profit off of the works of artists without the resources to stop them doing so.

      If artists see generative AI companies going bust, that will be something.

        No thanks. I care about real benefits and systemic changes. Not fucking petty vengeance.

        It’s literally worse than nothing because now all the time and effort used fighting for this was wasted.
