No they shouldn’t. They should cease to exist

Good luck putting the cat back in the bag.

I have cats. Putting them back in a bag or box is easier

Well if everyone who’s copyrighted work independently sues OpenAI, that cat will be deceased real quick due to bankruptcy

Generative AI is not going back into the bag. If not OpenAI, then someone else will control it. So we deal with them the next best way, force them to serve us, the people.

Then they can either pay for the copyrighted data they want to train on or lobby for copyright to be reigned in for everyone. Right now, they're acting like entitled twats with a shit business model demanding they get a free pass while the rest of us would be bankrupted for downloading a Metallica MP3.

I think this better solves the issue.

The problem isn't necessarily the use of copyrighted works, (although it can be a problem in many ways) it's the unfair legal determination of who is allowed to do so.

Nobody should profit from copyright violation. Yes, copyright law needs to change, but making money isn’t an exception

Generative AI is not going back into the bag.

It probably will, though, once model collapse sets in.

That's the irony, really... the more successful it is, the sooner it'll poison itself to death.
