    I don’t understand what the issue here is? Are people upset that companies that own the AI will churn profit from the free data available on the Internet for them to be trained on?

    If so, this is a hypocritical double standard. We use the Internet for the free information ourselves. We train ourselves but if a company does it for AI all of the sudden all that free information suddenly needs to be paid for because it’s an incorporated institution?

    Y’all need to figure out how free you want this content to be because there’s no in-between.

      exactly. if a human painter looks at a bunch of posted images to practice with, it’s okay. If a computer does it, it’s evil.

      Both the human artist and the computer eventually create something someone wants to pay for, and neither paid for looking at other people’s art.

      it’s a double standard.
