        I’m no fan of the current copyright law - the Statute of Anne was much better - but let’s not kid ourselves that some of the richest companies in the world have any desire what so ever to change it.

          My brother in Christ I’m begging you to look just a little bit into the history of copyright expansion.

        As long as capitalism exist in society, just being able go yoink and taking everyone’s art will never be a practical rule set.

      Every work is protected by copyright, unless stated otherwise by the author.
      If you want to create a capable system, you want real data and you want a wide range of it, including data that is rarely considered to be a protected work, despite being one.
      I can guarantee you that you’re going to have a pretty hard time finding a dataset with diverse data containing things like napkin doodles or bathroom stall writing that’s compiled with permission of every copyright holder involved.

        I never said it was going to be easy - and clearly that is why OpenAI didn’t bother.

        If they want to advocate for changes to copyright law then I’m all ears, but let’s not pretend they actually have any interest in that.
