In that case, public services can continue to try to fine tune outputs to not generate anything infringing. They can train on any material they want.
Of course, that still won’t make artists happy, because they think things like styles can be copyrighted, which isn’t true.
Any LLM output created with unlicensed sources is tainted. It doesnt matter if the output does not look like anything in the dataset. If you take out the unlicensed sources then you simply wont get the same result. An since the results directly compete with the source then its not “fair use”.
If we believe that authors should be able decide how their work is used then they can for sure say no machine learning. If we dont believe in intelectual property then anything is for grabs. I am ok with it but the corps are not.
That’s not how copyright law works, but it might be how it should work.
