Copyright is poison. So much devoted to not tell people recipies or lyrics that were found online.
Unpawalled data should automatically have no copyright beyond authorship attribution. It would be reasonable and aligned with how consumers think about it. At some point people will fix it. But this transitional period is obnoxious.
The idea of copyrighting a recipe is completely absurd, every single recipe is derived from another anyway. Change it enough so the teacher doesn't notice and the copying is fine?

Copyright is not poison. Copyright that lasts a ridiculous amount of time (> ~15 years) is poison.
Compromise: Copyright, as it is right now, is poison.
Remember how big corporations sued individuals for 10 million dollars for downloading a song, but now they've downloaded every song on the internet and used them to train AI and that's perfectly okay? There are no principles behind this - the answer is always "whatever favours big corporations".
Golden rule. Who has the gold makes the rules.
Copyright that's not share-alike is poison. I made this. You can make that. May the best person win in terms of monetary gain.
I'm allowed to use what I made, and you're allowed to use what you made. Simple.

Isn't that't the problem, no way to know exactly where it "learned" from? That is what they are fighting in the courts, I believe.
Breach of copyright is poison. So much devoted to providing people recipies or lyrics online for free and good faith, only for it to be scooped up and converted into shareholder value.
Unpaywalled data should automatically be used in line with how the person who created it and made it available wishes. It would be reasonable and aligned with how fair-minded people think about it. At some point people will fix it. But this transitional period is obnoxious.

You talk like the people are sharing recipes are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts - almost every single recipe site is filled to the brim with SEO garbage and ads. That's the main reason I use ChatGPT for recipes now.
