    I can already tell this is going to be a unpopular opinion judging by the comments but this is my ideology on it

    it’s totally true. I’m indifferent on it, if it was acquired by a public facing source I don’t really care, but like im definitly against using data dumps or data that wasn’t available to the public in the first place. The whole thing with AI is rediculous, it’s the same as someone going to a website and making a mirror, or a reporter making an article that talks about what’s in it, last three web search based AI’s even gave sources for where it got the info. I don’t get the argument.

    if it’s image based AI, well it’s the equivalent to an artist going to an art museum and deciding they want to replicate the art style seen in a painting. Maybe they shouldn’t be in a publishing field if they don’t want their work seen/used. That’s my ideology on it it’s not like the AI is taking a one-to-one copy and selling the artwork as , which in my opinion is a much more harmful instance and already happens commonly in today’s art world, it’s analyzing existing artwork which was available through the same means that everyone else had of going online loading up images and scraping the data. By this logic, artist should not be allowed to enter any art based websites museums or galleries, since by looking at others are they are able to adjust their own art which is stealing the author’s work. I’m not for or against it but, the ideology is insane to me.

      Agreed. I don’t understand how training LLM on publicly available data is an issue. As you says, it doesn’t copy the work. Rather the data is used as “inspiration” to stay in the art analogy.

      Maybe I’m ignorant. Would love to be proven wrong. Right now it seems to me that failing media publishers are trying to do a money grab and use copyright as an argument, even though their data/material isn’t getting illegally reproduced.
