The problem is that a lot of the time the anti-AI people are complaining about the scraping itself. They say things "Downloading Copyright web content without permission" when thats what has been happening for years.
As if scraping was a new and unusual thing. Google and other have always been doing a lot more than just creating an index.
The opponents should attack the new stuff, not the other stuff that people have been doing for years.

The problem is what being done with the copyrighted material, not the fact that an algorithm loaded it. Are you sure they complain about the scraping itself, or do you want them to complain about that, so that you can say that they make no sense?

- palata 3y agoThe thing with the law, is that you use whatever you can to win the argument. But reasonably, I would assume that the humans who see a problem with AI are not bothered by the fact that some text appears in some memory somewhere. They are bothered by the use of that text, which they believe goes against their copyright.
