The copyright battles affect models that were trained with datasets where the copyright holder's approval is missing. Copyright law will be adapted to consider that usage, and model trainers will make deals with large copyright holders.
It is very rare for any technology to be completely abandoned. Usually it only happens if is being obsoleted by a more capable successor. AI is here to stay, even if a minor cooldown is coming as LLMs get somewhat regulated.

Which is likely to be most/all of the high-profile text and image generation stuff. Where do you get a vast and varied enough library of non-copyrighted text and images on a vast range of subjects? (Even if you rely on something like owning a social media platform, how do you filter out copyright-infringing content that users will inevitably post?) More specialised datasets for specific tasks can be gathered safely, but, with the exception of self-driving vehicles, that's not really where the AI hype bubble is. It's all about ChatGPT, AI art, and the push for for AGI.
- samus 3y agoI agree that high-quality datasets, usually proprietary, are key to good model performance. Microsoft's Phi-2 model for example is punching way above its weight thanks to being fed high-quality textbooks and encyclopedias. But that's not a total showstopper. To use those, deals can be arranged since many textbooks come from just a few publishing houses. Heavyweights like Microsoft can do that. And a comparatively small model might actually be less likely to reproduce content versatim even if prompted. I am more curious whether researchers and private persons will be permitted to continue uploading models on Huggingface.
