We could you know… ask people to donate content to these systems. They could train on Creative Commons and ask Twitter to build image license options in to their UI, then train on all the freely licensed images. So we could actually follow copyright laws and still have an ML industry. But I’m not sure big tech wants to ask the public for consent. They would rather have free reign to do whatever they want. By the way I don’t like copyright law or the concept of IP. But I find it a little annoying that I’m supposed to respect IP law and ML stuff can just ignore it. Also if big tech was forced to encourage people to share stuff with an open license, this would be a huge net good for society! Instead nothing changes but big tech gets to take advantage of peoples copyrighted works and artists can’t do anything to stop it. That kinda sucks.
