What about "by continue using this site you agree to this TOS"?
What if you don't have rights for published content?
What if you make your content free and opensource, but don't want big greedy corporation to use your content to train AI?
What about author rights? If I publish my painting does that mean that any corp can sell t-shirt with this content, because "content available to anyone who can send a GET request or use the Internet Archive"?
- fasterik 3y ago>What about "by continue using this site you agree to this TOS"? Terms of service determine when a provider will refuse to service a user's requests. If the website responded to the request with the requested content, TOS is a moot point. All of the other examples are covered under copyright law. Whether or not copyright has been violated depends on whether the training of AI models falls under fair use. That remains to be decided in the courts, but I think there is a plausible argument that an AI model counts as "transformative use" and wouldn't be a violation of copyright.
