A product is not a human. They are selling a product based off copy-righted material without the rights to it. It's a pretty easy line to draw, honestly.

- XMPPwocky 4mo agoWhy is something being human or not relevant here?
- dpoloncsak 4mo agoBecause the laws were written by humans for humans, and that's where they seem to be drawing the line
- munksbeer 4mo agoI don't think it is easy, otherwise this wouldn't be such a contentious and frequently discussed issue. A human who trains their brain on material they don't own then creates art or writes code based on this training, sells the product too.
- dpoloncsak 4mo agoWhich is not illegal to do. It becomes illegal if you directly use or reference the material in your product. Consuming copyrighted material personally is fully legal, training a model on that same copy-righted material is illegal. Where is the contention? (Not a lawyer, just a nerd)
- munksbeer 4mo ago>Consuming copyrighted material personally is fully legal, training a model on that same copy-righted material is illegal. Where is the contention? The contention is obvious in your statement. Is it illegal to train a model, and why? Why is it legal to train a human on copyright material and then sell those skills, vs training a computer and selling the skills? This isn't black and white.
