In its submission to the Australian government’s review of the regulatory framework around AI, Google said that copyright law should be altered to allow for generative AI systems to scrape the internet.

You have really meandered off the path of what I was talking about. But please, meander. It's interesting.

    Well, that's what the person you replied to was saying. Essentially the "AI" is only reading the book, it's not copying the book.

    I could rewrite the entire Lord of the rings series in my own words and it wouldn't be copyright infringement. I could sit there with the movies on repeat and the books all open for reference, I don't owe the rights holder anything in that case, as long as I'm but reproducing their work.

    I might have applied and i wasn't being a dick. you removed my comment because why? you think the lord of the rings was written for grown-ups or something? time to test you and see how outlandish you can be. i'll think twice about participating here. not a safe place for me when I haven't said anything wrong. fortunately for me, technology isn't my specialty. it's literature. so, say goodbye to me from your community. also, didn't appreciate your insult. I'm from the community you're from. the comment from the other person came from another instance. you have nothing to worry about. in technology you won't hear a peep from me, because I learned how this place works. humanities and cultural literacy is not appreciated here.

    What is this person's audience? I'm not it. I guess they should have not picked me. LMAO. Poor kid. I just want to give the poor kid a huge hug, bake some Nestle Toll House cookies, and we can Netflix and chill to the whole Lord of the Rings plus the Hobbit. You know, because I have a heart, and this person needs this. Not that I'd enjoy any of it, I'd just be totally sacrificing my whole identity in favor, just to be helpful and all. LMAO
