    How is an AI trained on an artists painting, any different from a person who looked at that painting in art school? It’s not like the AI contains all of its training data; you can prove that from the file sizes.

    I’m all for what the article advocates, but it’s kind of like publishing a book and saying “you have a license to read this, but not to learn anything from it”

    I’m afraid this is going to turn out like “a new contract for typewriter repairmen in the age of laptop computers”

      I don’t think we can compare human learning to AI one.

      Tho u are in a way right. Those ppl don’t protest the AI, they protest progress.

      Because people iterate and machine learning algorithms only copy

      there is no new information, it’s just regurgitating bits and pieces of what it was fed.
