This isn't how "fair use" works, in the sense that there can never be a blanket assurance like that. Also, whether the result is "transformative" is just one of many factors (see audio sampling/remixing).
- CamperBob2 3y agoIt's not how fair use works now, but many things about copyright law will have to change radically over the next few years. There's too much at stake.
- yladiz 3y agoWhat is at stake?
- jaysinn_420 3y agoBillions of dollars in investments that will partially benefit lawmakers?
- kube-system 3y agoWell, content creators and publishers have trillions.
- jojo100 3y agoContent creators and publishers are also the primary ones who are using generative AI. They aren't a united monolith against generative AI.

- JoshTriplett 3y agoAs long as the change is to reduce copyright restrictions on everyone, rather than just giving AI a pass to copy and launder the work of others with impunity.
- jojo100 3y agoThis is what people on the "this is copyright infringement" side don't understand. Even if it somehow is copyright infringement by the standards of today's law, those laws will inevitably change in the near future. Generative AI is far, far too lucrative and convenient to society for it to be crippled by obsolete copyright infringement laws formed in a time where generative AI was a thing of science fiction novels.
- twoodfin 3y agoAlso “transformative” doesn’t have its everyday meaning in this context: “The Godfather” film is absolutely a transformative interpretation of Mario Puzo’s book and a fully distinct, valuable work of original art. Paramount still needed to pay Puzo for the right to base it on his words.
