That's an interesting thought experiment. Every human btain contains illegal copies of music and images. If you hum or sing or even think about an IP, in the future you will have to pay a license fee to a corporation.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoIt’s already illegal for you to sing a copyrighted song in front of a group of people. If you hear a Taylor Swift song and memorize it, then later sing it in front of a sufficiently large group of people I believe that is illegal. Now I don’t actually think intellectual property restrictions are good. I think they are quite harmful. But as long as they exist I don’t like the idea of big companies trampling over the IP rights of small creators. People currently depends on those rights. One of the reasons I want to see a large public dataset of explicitly licensed images is that if OpenAI is required to do this, they would have to spearhead a new culture of openness to get enough data. Imagine if they encouraged twitter to add a license option and then simultaneously encouraged users to add alt text and to license images with an open license! This would be a boon to people with sight disability who require alt text and it would expand a visual commons of openly licensed data. Instead we have one company making a big dataset full of copyrighted images (sharing something online does not waive copyright). I think a model based on explicit consent is healthier for everyone in society.
