Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material
lily33@lemm.ee 11 months agoThe infraction should be in what’s generated. Because the interest by itself also enables many legitimate, non-infracting uses - which don’t involve generating creative work at all - or where the creative input comes from the user.

I don't disagree on principle, but I do think it requires some thought.
Also, that's still a pretty significant backstop. You basically would need models to have a way to check generated content for copyright, in the way Youtube does, for instance. And that is already a big debate, whether enforcing that requirement is affordable to anybody but the big companies.
But hey, maybe we can solve both issues the same way. We sure as hell need a better way to handle mass human-produced content and its interactions with IP. The current system does not work and it grandfathers in the big players in UGC, so whatever we come up with should work for both human and computer-generated content.
