How are we going to make ai, if it can't learn?
First, we don’t have to make AI.
Second, it’s not about it being unable to learn, it’s about the fact that they aren’t paying the people who are teaching it.
Then give the AI a library card, feel better?
The reasoning that claims training a generative model is infringing IP would still mean a robot going into a library with a card it has to optically read all the books there to create the same generative model would still be infringing IP.
Same way that counting cards is illegal
Counting cards isn’t illegal though lol
Exactly
Exactly and neither is this.
Humans can judge information make decisions on it and adapt it. AI mostly just looks at what is statistically what is most likely based on training data. If 1 piece of data exists, it will copy, not paraphrase. Example was from I think copilot where it just printed out the code and comments from an old game verbatim. I think Quake2. It isn't intelligence, it is statistical copying.
Well, mathematics cannot be copyrighted. In most countries at least.
FTFY. Corporations shouldn't be making a fucking dime from any of these works without fairly paying the creators.
