Anything else is going to bite US in the ass. Asking for consent kills any kind of open source development. It puts AI solely in the hands of like three companies. Our economy is going to be very AI focused in the future, they would literally own all of us.
You aren't getting paid either way so we might as well all enjoy the fruits of humanities labor freely instead of been forced into a subscription model of it.
Asking for consent doesn't kill open source development. Consent is the very reason we have licensed code. MIT, Apache, GPL3... And development is done and code is reused in accordance of those licenses.
Except it does not?
For example: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/
"Most of the data used by large companies isn’t available to the majority of people. We think that stifles innovation."
Yes crowd sourcing is a solution but is only really possible if you are able to reach many people like Mozilla can. They only have 20k of hours up to date. Tortoise needed 50k hours and was made by one guy who open sourced it. He would not have been able to build without scraping YouTube.
Crowd sourcing also becomes much more complicated for llms or if you are making models in other language.
