While it does appear that Facebook used pirated books for training in this case I’m not sure what to think about copyright as it applies to AI in general.
People read books to learn and then use that knowledge with no contribution or even recognition of the publishers or authors of the books. Sometimes people even quote books without payment to the authors. Sometimes the books are used or borrowed and the publishers and authors don’t get paid. How is it different when an AI does the same thing? Or when a human uses an AI to do the same thing?
Even if Facebook is in the wrong here what is the remedy? Would it be ok if they purchased used books and scanned them?
