    Using public facing data to build machine learning model is not against copyright laws. There is a transformative clause for a reason.

    Strengthening copyright laws will only hurt the open source scene and give companies like openai and google a soft monopoly.

    Not only that but the money is going to go to data brokers and platforms like reddit and getty. Individuals aren’t getting a dime.

      Yes. Just as entering through an unlocked door isn’t trespassing.

      Most of the sources also have copyright notices the model gobbles up, effectively making it more like trespassing and taking the no trespassing sign home as a souvenir.
