    Even the most reasonable law in the world can’t be enforced on someone who broke it 6 months before it was legislated.

    Sure it can. Just because it is a new law doesn’t mean they get to continue benefiting from IP ‘theft’ forever into the future.

    Imagine the FOMO and user frustration when ToS & legislation catch up and now ChatGPT has no access to the latest books, music, news, research, everything. Just stuff from before authors knew to include the “hands off” clause

    How is this an issue for the IP holders? Just because you build something cool or useful doesn’t mean you get a pass to do what you want.

    basically like the knowledge cutoff, but forever. It’s untenable,

    Untenable for ChatGPT maybe, but it’s not as if it’s the end of ‘knowledge’ or the end of AI. It’s just a single company product.
