The article fundamentally misrepresents what AI is doing. It claims that people using AI to create works that violate copyright is equivalent to individual artists painting pictures or people writing fan fiction. But that is not at all what is happening. OpenAI and others are taking money from customers to generate copyrighted works. That's back-letter copyright infringement. The states that it is unreasonable to go after all the individual customers. That's true, but that's not how copyright law has ever been enforced. If you have a company selling copyrighted works without permission, you go after that company not after their customers. | ||
