> absence of governance mechanisms or social contracts around a shared resource (open knowledge) leads to exploitation that threatens the resource's sustainability for everyone. an AI training on a source does not deplete the source in the digital realm. It's not like bits run out or rot. The training potentially could remove a source of commercial revenue, such as advertising, which is only tangentially related to the knowledge/source. And it is not the commercial revenue which drove the initial development of said knowledge, even if said creator(s) of the knowledge got paid after the fact (let alone not paid - such as wikipedia editors). Therefore, it's incorrect to associate tragedy of the commons to ai training draining the commons.
