“Don't say that a crime was committed because an LLM produced something better and faster than a human could. Don't call obviously original writing and original art a COPY when it is obviously NOT. These are the same tactics used by patent trolls.” The law is arbitrary, written by humans, not by some platonic ideal inherent in the universe. It doesn’t need to be applied equally to people and tools. The people producing these models just want profit as much as any patent troll and like them will interpret the law in such a way that benefits them or fight to change it so they can realize that profit. It’s easier to go after the models and prevent copyright for AI generated works than to take issue with all of their users which is what we’re seeing in the courts. “Society is fucking changing” I agree with you there. I’m not fundamentally opposed to AI generated anything actually but the training is problematic and I don’t see society as ready for it. It would be an easier pill to swallow if we had a shortage of writers/artists/etc and this was the solution to that.
