    It feels to be like every other post on lemmy is taking about how copyright is bad and should be changed, or piracy is caused by fragmentation and difficulty accessing information (streaming sites). Then whenever this topic comes up everyone completely flips. But in my mind all this would do is fragment the ai market much like streaming services (suddenly you have 10 different models with different licenses), and make it harder for non mega corps without infinite money to fund their own llms (of good quality).

    Like seriously, can’t we just stay consistent and keep saying copyright bad even in this case? It’s not really an ai problem that jobs are effected, just a capitalism problem. Throw in some good social safety nets and tax these big ai companies and we wouldn’t even have to worry about the artist’s well-being.

      Journalist: Read a press release. Write it in my own words. See some Tweets. Put them together in a page padded with my commentary. Learn from, reference, and quote copyrighted material everywhere.

      AI

      I do that too.

      Journalists

      How dare AI learn! Especially from copyrighted material!

        Journalists need to survive. AI is a tool for profit, with no need to eat, sleep, pay for kids clothes or textbooks.

      Which jobs are going to be affected really?

      One thing is for certain, the “open” web is going to become a junkyard even more than it is now.
