- NullPrefix 2y agoSo to legally copy a website, all you need is to just pass it through an AI filter and then you can legally publish the rip off?
- portaouflop 2y agoNo - data mining copyrighted material and republishing copyrighted material under your own name are two very different things
- SideburnsOfDoom 2y agoPassing data through an AI filter for "training" is a different thing (legally and ethically) from publishing the output.
- portaouflop 2y agoIf you read the law it says it’s only allowed if the rights holder doesn’t disallow it (in machine readable form) - I would argue robots.txt falls under machine readable
