Uh, yeah, a massive corporation sucking up all intellectual property to milk it is not the own you think it is.
But this is literally people trying to strengthen copyright and its scope. The corporation is, out of pure convenience, using copyright as it exists currently with the current freedoms applied to artists.
Listen, it's pretty simple. Copyright was made to protect creators on initial introduction to market. In modern times it's good if an artist has one lifetime, i.e their lifetime of royalties, so that they can at least make a little something - because for the small artist that little something means food on their plate.
But a company, sitting on a Smaug's hill worth of intellectual property, "forever less a day"? Now that's bonkers.
But you, scraping my artwork to resell for pennies on the dollar via some stock material portal? Can I maybe crawl up your colon with sharp objects and kindling to set up a fire? Pretty please? Oh pretty please!
Also, if you AI copies my writing style, I will personally find you, rip open your skull AND EAT YOUR BRAINS WITH A SPOON!!!! Got it, devboy?
Won't be Mr Hotshot with a pointy objects and a fire up you ass, as well as less than half a brain... even though I just took a couple of bites.
Chew on that one.
EDIT: the creative writer is doomed, I tells ya! DOOOOOOMED!
This is remarkably aggressive and assumptive. It also addresses none of my beliefs substantively so not much to really chew on there.
You let me know if you ever want to chat about the issue, but right now it looks like you just want to vent. Feel free to do that but I'm not going to just be an object of your anger.
Bleeding hearts rarely do their cause justice (referring to the person you replied to)
Here's
a bit more your speed.

You also didn't get the gist =) Because you didn't want to. Ah well. Better luck next time.
Actually, I hid all that in the goop - but it went passed ya because you didn't want to read with your minds eye. You also weren't showing any sympathy, but false sympathy, because you just wanted to dismiss the person and not their concern. This is called an "as hominem". You argue the person rather than the points, and they did substantially tell you that it's a matter of being able to be paid for your labours.
A little hint: copyright is there to protect creators from over reach, which should be fairly obvious. Both mass consolidation of intellectual property and fuzzing of copyright through AI is also abuse of the very founding principles of copyright.
But sometimes people just want to dismiss, it becomes easier if someone is upset, cus then your can take the high road about stuff and people will be happy with it...
Ok, byyyyye~ ^_^
AI training isn’t only for mega-corporations. We can already train our own open source models, so we shouldn't applaud someone trying to erode our rights and let people put up barriers that will keep out all but the ultra-wealthy. We need to be careful not weaken fair use and hand corporations a monopoly of a public technology by making it prohibitively expensive to for regular people to keep developing our own models. Mega corporations already have their own datasets, and the money to buy more. They can also make users sign predatory ToS allowing them exclusive access to user data, effectively selling our own data back to us. Regular people, who could have had access to a corporate-independent tool for creativity, education, entertainment, and social mobility, would instead be left worse off with fewer rights than where they started.
