    Good. You shouldn’t get special privileges JUST BECAUSE you develop AI garbage.

    If you want that permission, go to each and every single publisher of that content and ask for it.

        Exactly. Why does a computer get to expand its fake mind of pirate content, but I can’t legally feed it into my own real human brain?

        The AI is going to use it to make money, which is more against copyright’s principles than me using it to entertain or educate myself.

    Its a stupid way to have gotten into the debate, but its extremely weird to me how defensive certain online cohorts have become around a system that is and was objectively designed to exploit content producers and protect publishers: the copyright system.

    If you assume you know what copyright is but haven’t actually researched it, please start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhBpI13dxkI

    Its a google talk from the “don’t be evil” days of google.

    Fuck publishers and fuck the exploitation of content creators, but understand, copyright is not for and never has been for the protection of creators. Its only ever been for the purpose of protecting those who exploit creators.

    If you have an idea, and you don’t want any one to have access to it, then don’t share it. Once you’ve shared an idea (or piece of art, content, anything), its not yours any more. The idea that you have universal rights to something that also wasn’t’ even yours to begin with because you were the first to plant a flag, is ridiculous. All ideas are derivative.
