And a reason people are getting ticked at the AI companies is the hypocrisy. They're near-universally arguing that it's okay for them to treat copyright in a way that it is illegal for us to, apparently on the basis of, "we've got a billions in investment capital, and applying the law equally will make it hard for us to get a return on that investment".
Hence why people should support open source AI, as otherwise, ironically, even more regulation will mean that only the big tech companies will be able to afford the licenses to content to train their AI.
I'm arguing it should be legal for everyone.
