Copyright seems to always have one or another wild wild west going on. Maybe you are in the wrong place if the world constantly jumps and kicks from under you trying to throw you off?
- chefandy 2y agoAnyone that thinks this is completely untrodden ground for copyright should ask an expert to definitely determine if someone's use of something is covered under fair use if it doesn't exactly and clearly satisfy all of the test prongs.
- adityaathalye 2y agoGP here. I agree. By "lack of precedent" I meant lack of precedent specific to the implications of gen AI's use of data scraped indiscriminately, without attribution or consideration. As far as I can tell, the various cases in progress will (eventually) set some precedent about fair use in this specific context. LLM-owning companies are already hedging future liability by paying for content and/or doing the usual terms of use bait-and-switch (oh yeah, and when you click "okay", you agree to let us use all your data to train our AI models).
