The copyright issue seems unchanged. Anyone taking wholesale quotes from another entity is likely in violation of copyright law. If someone uses AI, and posts the output from it as their own work, and that work contains copyrighted material, the person who posted it is in violation of copyright. AI is just a tool they chose to use and they remain responsible for remaining in compliance with copyright law.
What we need is a reasonable way for people using AI to determine which parts of the text or images they have are subject to copyright.

- OkayPhysicist 3y agoHow can you possibly argue that taking a bunch of text and creating an application that creates text isn't transformative? The tool itself unambiguously is fair use.

- tomp 3y ago> Anyone taking wholesale quotes from another entity is likely in violation of copyright law What do you mean anyone? Is Sony liable when you play an entire movie on their TV? Is Nuance liable when you use their Dragon screen reader to cerbalize an entire NYT article? Is Google liable when you display an entire webpage in Google Chrome? How about if you switch to Dark Mode, is that a transformative use? Why would AI be any different? It’s just a tool at the end of the day!
