    It’s incredibly convenient for companies.

    Big companies like open AI can easily afford to download big data sets from companies like Reddit and deviantArt who already have the permission to freely use whatever work you upload to their website.

    Individual creators do not have that ability and the act of doing this regulation will only force AI into the domain of these big companies even more than it already is.

    Regulation would be a hideously bad idea that would lock these powerful tools behind the shitty web APIs that nobody has control over but the company in question.

    Imagine the world is the future, magical new age technology, and Facebook owns all of it.

    Do not allow that to happen.
