Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material
zaphod@lemmy.ca 11 months agoIMO the right compromise is to return copyright to its original 14 year term. OpenAI can freely train on anything up to 2009 which is still a gigantic amount of material whole artists continue to be protected and incentivized.

I’m increasingly convinced of that myself, yeah (although I’d favour 15 or 20 years personally, just because they’re neater numbers than 14). The original purpose of copyright was to promote innovation by ensuring a creator gets a good length of time in which to benefit from their creation, which a 14-20 year term achieves. Both extremes - a complete lack of copyright and the exceedingly long terms we have now - suppress innovation.

Another neat number is: 4.
That’s it, if you don’t make money on your creation in 4 years, then it’s likely trash anyway.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! (My apologies if it happens to be to the same person, lol)
