Me: It's not doable for me to pay for all copyrighted input, so I'm totally pirating everything
Ahh, so it's not a viable business model
So they are saying piracy is the correct and moral thing?
Well fantastic, pirate everything! (as if you didn't already)
It's not doable for average people to pay for all copyrighted media.
Looks like piracy is fine everyone!
For once I agree with the tangerine mussolini: paying for all copyrighted stuff is not doable, hence I pirate all of it.
Yes, it should be legal to not pay for copyrighted material
With all the price hikes because of pointless tariffs it’s not doable to pay taxes to the government.
finally everyone's in agreement that what they're doing is illegal and should stop immediately. right?
I just wish this lead to an actual reform of IP law instead of just benefiting the wealthy more.
Agreed. This really isn't as simple as "training AI is/is not copyright infringement ".
It isn't like the technology is going away, and if big corporations with huge IP libraries are the only ones that have access... Well that isn't exactly a pleasant world.
That said, creators absolutely deserve to get compensated for their work, especially if an AI is regurgitating recognizable hunks of their art.
"It's not doable"
On that we agree.
So in theory one could start their own ai company fork an AI or even take some code and then pirate whatever you want and claim immunity for piracy because it is for your ai
if we start a religion that believes existience is a simulation and we're AI could we argue these laws apply to us under religious rights?
It's also a dumb fucking argument in general.
LLM models are not magic. They don't store the entirety of human history in a 10-20GB file. That's a fucking stupid idea. They look at something, process some weights, and move on to the next thing.
It's like going on Google Image Search, and seeing all of the copyrighted images on your browser. You didn't "steal" those, just because it was downloaded. That's not how copyright works.
Please stop parroting this stupid fucking argument.
Found the AI stan.
