[–] Ross_audio@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 child) Monetisation? Licensing the site to AI when there's finally a ruling they can't just scrape the internet for training data while ignoring copyright. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago (2 children) I was told reddit has already been scraped for AI and all sorts of stuff. There is very little new value to sell. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ross_audio@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (3 children) Except AI models may end up having to start again with licences or public domain data.

Like every llama. The investment thesis they the data is valuable is bonkers. It’s not. Not only has it been exfiltrated and can be laundered in a dozen ways, Reddit also won’t be able to effectively assert copyright. Look at Facebook. It’s full of reposted quora content now with AI images and AI laundered text. Reddit is dead permalink fedilink source parent [–] besbin@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Whatever already existed won't be thrown away regardless of the ruling. It's like throwing all the gold already dug up just because it was done by slave labor. The law and legal actions are mostly just a moat around the pile of gold already dug up. Sure AI companies will have to pay more for the new data from other sources.
