The copyright system is utterly broken at that point. This kind of lawsuits don't make any sense.
Are we surprised? Not at all... this is an ethical problem, this is a legal risk. The alternatives will hopefully know better.
This was only a matter of time. It'll be interesting to see how this will unfold. Potentially it could turn into lawsuit cases being built up, it could also mean content producers get a cut down the line... of course could be both. Since FOSS code also ends up in training those models I'm even wondering if that could lead to money going back to the authors. We'll see where that goes.
This lawsuit and the first ruling are indeed very concerning. Let's hope we keep the Internet Archive alive, their work is invaluable.
For all the conversations about how chat GPT might displace jobs, there's a big untold: how much of copyright is violated in the process? It's also very concerning about how much data it collects when interacted with.
It seems this isn't necessary after all. At most if you like it you can put the year of creation of the copyrighted content, but the range and bumping it really isn't necessary.
Alright, this going to be interesting. Pass me the pop corn. It's definitely a welcome move in any case.
Excellent news, hoping to see more such bogus patents cancelled. Also, one can hope, that patent offices would start becoming less sloppy...
