It might be me but I fail to see the equivalence of AI companies with thirst deaths. That', or maybe because it's a strawman.

The point is that you can buy a book for a few bucks, read it, and have its insights completely available to you. But people are demanding that LLM companies pay far more to publishers for the same copies

  • You can also buy a book produce a large number of copies after jumbling around some chapters sell it to other people. That's illegal to do if you are person but not if you an AI company.

    I suppose an argument might be made for fair use if they released their model weights publicly without financially profiting from it.
