It is pretty funny that openai arguably is based on enormous amounts of copyright infringement (depending on if scraping training data is fair use or not), but they're kind of being prudes about something as clearly benign as this.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoNothing funny. It's similar to how YouTube was built on massive copyright infringement, on a scale unmatched by anything except perhaps LLMs now, and then turned around to become the Fully Automated Fanatic Copyright Enforcer we know it today. It's not hypocrisy - it's this, or getting sued out of existence. They pulled a fast one and got away with it, because MAFIAA figured it's more profitable to extract money from YouTube at legal gunpoint, instead of killing it and losing a distribution channel they can't maintain themselves. Here, OpenAI is trying to get ahead of the whole generative AI copyright kerfuffle, hoping to avoid getting sued if they demonstrate they're eager to work in the interest of copyright holders.
