Data helped build the knowledge set of a lot of smart people too. Should the people who put the data out there also get paid?

  I think there's a fundamental difference between using the data to create a product and using the data to improve people's minds. I get a return on my "investment" in the latter case because my neighbors being educated also improves my own standard of living. That said, I'm not really on board with these "pay for using my data" arguments. I think they're just trying to work around that the use of people's data for things like gpt troubles them and they wish they could have stopped it. Or, maybe I think that because the fact that my data was used to help train gpt bothers me greatly. No payout will fix that. So, instead, I've taken down all my public-facing websites and data repositories to prevent being forced to help these efforts in the future. It's not much, but it's all I can do at this point.

    It's not even clear to me that it's legal to use web crawls of copyrighted content to train an LLM.

      It is, in the EU, UK, JP and SG.
