> I can see that you don't want AI companies to exist so you want this regulation, but how is different than search engine scraping the internet? This is unnecessary hyperbole. Preventing the laundering of copyright material through AI algorithms does not prevent AI companies from existing. Take Adobe -- they have license to the training images they use and they have helpful products based on AI processing of those images. It won't be "free" money from dubious sources. But AI does not depend on the laundering of copyright material. The difference is whether or not you are scraping and then generating similar products (eg the images themselves) or whether you are scraping for some other purpose.
