People's outrage to your valid question is ridiculous. MS and OpenAI will make billions because they scrapped lots and lots of data, but aurhors od those data can't get anything because openai simps will shout.
I see this is very american thing to do. Allow corporations to do everything they want, because limitations or just justice and rewarding real authors of data those corporations benefit from is literally communism
Made my first million this year myself actually and I probably have many people to credit that I forgot to credit. I can start with Pythagoras, Galileo [insert everyone between], Kernighan, Ritchie. Also the guy who invented pencilin. I'm honestly not sure how these angles arise. Knowledge wants to be free. We are here today because of this fact.
When it comes to spam culture sure. But will we ever be there? "AI art" isn't impressive and will never be. It is impressive in the academic sense. Nothing more.
The motivation to produce original knowledge is that it is considered your intellectual property. By suggesting to abolish the notion of intellectual property, are you arguing for some form of communism?
Imagine Google scraping the Internet and not directing you to search results. We’d be with pitchforks the next day. But when OpenAI does it, that’s somehow okay…
