If you want people to read and learn from each other, you should incentivize people to make content worth reading and learning from. Making LLM training a viable loophole for copyright law means there won’t be incentives to produce such work.

> No. Reading something, learning from it, then writing something similar, is legal; and more importantly, it is moral.

Machines aren’t human. Don’t anthropomorphize them. The same morals and laws don’t apply.

Re-reading your comment, I think we’re both generally anti-corporate-fuckery. I view the current batch of copyright pearl clutching to be an argument about if VCs are allowed to steal books to make their chatbots worth talking to, and the Wine/MSoft debate about if it should be legal to engage in anticompetitive behavior by restrictive use of copyright. In both of these cases the root of the issue isn’t really the copyright as an abstract- it’s the bludgeoning of the person with less money by use of overwhelming legal costs to have a day in court.

Would using an actors face and voice as training data be fair use?

What it the model then creates a virtual actor that is very close to the real actor?
