Training Generative AI Models on Copyrighted Works Is Fair Use - Change My Mind - eviltoast

I fucked with the title a bit. What i linked to was actually a mastodon post linking to an actual thing. but in my defense, i found it because cory doctorow boosted it, so, in a way, i am providing the original source here.

please argue. please do not remove.

    That’s just saying you can claim copyright if you lie about authorship. The problem then is, you may step into the realm of fraud.

        Well, what you initially said sounded like fraud, but the incredibly long page indeed doesn’t talk about fraud. However, it also seems a bit vague. What counts as your contributions to the work? Is it part of the input the model was trained on, “I wrote the prompt”, or making additionally changes based on the result?

          The vagueness surrounding contributions is particularly troubling. Without clearer guidelines, this seems like a recipe for lawsuits.
