AI companies have all kinds of arguments against paying for copyrighted content::The companies building generative AI tools like ChatGPT say updated copyright laws could interfere with their ability to train capable AI models. Here are comments from OpenAI, StabilityAI, Meta, Google, Microsoft and more.
Then feel free to give your copyrighted AI code a free software license :3
This. If the model and its parameters are open source and under an unrestricted license, they can scrape anything they want in my opinion. But if they make money with someone’s years of work writing a book, then please give that author some money as well.
Why? I’ve read many books on programming, and now I work as a programmer. The authors of those books don’t get a percentage of my income just because they spent years writing the book. I’ve also read (and written) plenty of open source code over the years, and learned from that code. That doesn’t mean I have to give money to all the people who contributed to those projects.
But you bought the books
He might’ve borrowed them from a library.
OpenAI could’ve trained on borrowed ebooks as well
Like with most things, consent and intent matter. I went out on Halloween when I was a kid and got free candy, so why is it bad if I break in and steal other people’s candy?
You say you are programmer not writing books about programming. Your argument doesn’t work.
I will never be totally happy with this situation until they’re required to offer a free version of all the models that were created with unlicensed content.
