So @internetarchive scanning books for their digital library is copyright infringement:
blog.archive.org/2023/03/25/th

But OpenAI slurping all of that to train a model that then can generate text and put actual authors out of business (already happening with copywriters), is not.

Figures, there are no $billions of VC / corporate money behind Internet Archive, why would anyone want to support a public service, right? 🤦‍♀️

IA ≠AI, know the difference!

#OpenAI is not going to be able to prove that everything they slurped from Teh Intertubes for their model-training-needs was in fact put out there in a way that was *not* copyright infringement in the first place.

In other words, if @internetarchive scans a book and puts it out there, that "infringing" scan could (if OpenAI has access to it) be used to train a model, and that would *not* be infringement.

Totally reasonable, right? 🤡

Or to put it yet differently:

Hoi polloi should not have access to books for free / cheap!

"AI" models should, and hoi polloi can then avail themselves of the regurgitated output these machines of loving grace.

Can't have the pleb reading books directly, they might get uppity! 🧐
