@drahardja I kind of agree and I think copyright law is entirely insufficient to deal with what AI is doing. I think it falls more along crossing lines of ethics and also undermining fair competition because of the automation of copying and reconstituting. We need new laws.

@990000 I would go further to say that applying #copyright law to #AI will take us *further* from the equitable future we want. If copyright is successfully applied to AI, what we will see after the dust settles is a handful of media behemoths that profit mightily from AI, without slowing down the damage that AI does to the value of creative human labor.

I always return to this pithy guide by @emilymbender when thinking about this topic: we need to think of AI as *automation*, albeit one that is more effective at displacing a wide variety of human labor than ever. We can’t use copyright to stop automation; it will just enrich a different set of kingpins without stopping its effects.
