That law was defined long before there was a capability to launder authorship at scale in the way being discussed. The law does not account for this novel capability.
The law is intended to protect IP, which promotes innovation and creativity by creating relevant incentives. If that was the intention of the law, and it is not interpreted in that way, it ought to be revised for it to continue to serve those objectives.
> Evidence that I am right: you are right now commenting on a thread where a judge threw out all the copyright claims.
This only shows that you read the headline. It does not show that you (or the judge) are correct about the core issue.
- stale2002 2y ago> The law does not account for the new capability. Gotcha. Well, fortunately, you are commenting on a post right now where the judge threw out the copyright claims. So, apparently, I am correct that in this circumstance, that there is no illegal copyright infringement. > promotes innovation and creativity I'm this circumstance, it does seem to be promoting innovation and creativity because the AI stuff is allowed! Glad you agree.

- anileated 2y agoI suppose it depends on the country. I heard the US is a somewhat unusual culture where concerns usually encoded in legislation in other countries instead battle it out in courts.
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoIn the US there is a bunch of copyright legislation, and has been over time to deal with new things as they come up
- threatofrain 2y agoNo, we should absolutely be interested in figuring out what the law would even say today. It is not obvious. That's why this case is interesting.
