> previous """AI""" generation has been trained on public text and photos, which are harder to make copyright claims on, but this is drawn from large bodies of work with very explicit court-tested licenses This seems pretty backwards to me. A GPL licensed data point is more permissive than an unlicensed data point. That said, I’m glad that these data points do have explicit licenses that say “if you use this, you must do XYZ” so that it’s clear that our large ML projects are going counter to creators intent when they made it open. I’d love to start seeing licenses about use as training data. Then maybe we’d see more open access to these models that benefit from the openness of the web. I’d personally use licenses that say if you want to train on my work, you must publish the model. That goes for my code, my writing, and my photography. Anyways GitHub is arguing that any use of publicly available data for training is fair use, but they also admit that it’s all new and unprecedented, regarding training data.
