> I don't think you understand what's being proposed here. I expect that, as today, the AI output will absolutely be copyrighted and strictly protected against any attempt to copy it by others. However these protections won't apply to the inputs a company will use to train the AI. And the output of that will not be copyrightable to train AI, whose output will be copyrightable, but not to train more AI, ad infinitum. Copyright is the problem here, not AI. > ...and oh yeah, if the Sam Altmans of the world get their way you'll need a license from the government to run your own AI model. That may be impossible to enforce, as models leak into the world, and you can run then offline in a sufficiently powerful machine. Let's hope that becomes the case.
