Steve Bannon & other US conservatives just called for the government not to make AI training fair use.
“It is absurd to suggest that licensing copyrighted content is a financial hindrance to a $20 trillion industry spending hundreds of billions of dollars per year.”

AI companies are behind the largest intellectual property theft in HISTORY.
We prosecute individuals for piracy, so why hasn't Big Tech faced any consequences?

Hear it firsthand from bestselling author @davidbaldacci on Big Tech's theft of his copyrighted content:
"Every single one of my books was presented to me in . . . three seconds, it really felt like I had been robbed of everything of my entire adult life that I had worked on."

Powerful testimony from Professor Bhamati Viswanathan, an IP law expert, before the Senate Judiciary Committee today:
"If you know that you can go to a pirate website and steal things, why would you ever pay for anything again?...We need new technologies to flourish fairly."

“It doesn’t give you the right to take their work without permission.”
🙏🏽
As @ednewtonrex says, licensing doesn’t imply a single standard…& payments aren’t necessarily small. Some creators may demand % of company value, not revenue. I sure would given that revenue is shaky.

“Just because a payment is small doesn’t mean a creator doesn’t want it,” @fairlytrained CEO @ednewtonrex tells #BrainstormAI of AI copyright issues.

“IA asks this Court to bless the large scale copying & distribution of copyrighted books without permission from or payment to the Publishers or authors…This may be what IA & its amici prefer, but it is not an approach that the Copyright Act permits.”

Grandal dropped a strike 3 to Siani. I’ve never seen a Pirates player make as many plays that have directly led to us losing as this piece of shit. He should’ve been cut months ago

Many in the AI world underestimate the backlash against AI. It is serious & growing.
AI developers need to understand the strength of feeling & really engage with people on this.
A few examples:
1. A London cinema dropped AI-written film after backlash.

"AI is a master of remixing and recombining existing human creations. It can analyze vast datasets ...identifying patterns and trends that it can then use to generate new works. However, these creations... are ultimately derivative." ipwatchdog.com/2024/07/17/fi…

Transformativeness under © law doesn’t mean what AI companies think it means, nor is it the be-all & end-all of fair use. Even Judge Leval, father of “transformativeness,” argues that the likely impact on the original creator is the most important factor.

Generative AI companies call their use of copyrighted work to train models 'transformative' because they hope this gets them off the hook legally. It doesn't.
Two important things to remember about 'transformative' use of copyrighted work, outlined here by Jane C. Ginsburg:
1. Simply transforming something doesn't make it 'transformative' in this context. Transformativeness is not just a measure of distance in e.g. pixel space; it includes the *purpose* of the use.
2. Even if a use *is* judged to be transformative (see 1), transformativeness is not the only factor in fair use decisions.
If you hear people describing their use of copyrighted work for AI training as 'transformative', please bear this in mind: the output being aesthetically different to the input does not necessarily make the use 'transformative' in the eyes of the law, and there is lots besides transformativeness that is important.

Folks defending the authorized capture and use of creative works to train AI are like foxes campaigning for free range chickens.

Artists asking for stronger copyright protection is like turkeys voting for Christmas.
