OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material (arstechnica.com)

Apparently, stealing other people's work to create product for money is now "fair use" as according to OpenAI because they are "innovating" (stealing). Yeah. Move fast and break things, huh?

"Because copyright today covers virtually every sort of human expression—including blogposts, photographs, forum posts, scraps of software code, and government documents—it would be impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials," wrote OpenAI in the House of Lords submission.

OpenAI claimed that the authors in that lawsuit "misconceive[d] the scope of copyright, failing to take into account the limitations and exceptions (including fair use) that properly leave room for innovations like the large language models now at the forefront of artificial intelligence."

I stand by my opinion that AI will be the worst thing humans ever created, and that means it ranks just a bit above religion.

This is very likely to be true.

I'd argue the issue is not the AI but capitalism.

AI is good, AI companies are evil.
