And you violate copyright when you think about copywritten things alone at night.
I violate copyright when i draw Mario and don't sell it to anybody.
Or these are dumb stretches of what copyright is and how it should be applied.
the reasoning in this article is dumb and all over the place.
Seems like gary marcus being gary marcus.
Already seen openAI calling out some of the bullshit specifically noted in this. That doesn't matter though, damage is done and people WANT to believe ai is terrible in every way.
Everyone is just deadfast determined to climb onto the gary marcus unreasonable AI hate train no matter what.

The funny thing is, copyright doesn't even matter; at least half of the world's market couldn't care less about copyright, especially if it's from the "west." They certainly won't suddenly start respecting copyright law. They will use and develop AI without the restriction of copyright. All this talk about copyright and the law, and all the copyright suits against AI and tech firms, will be fruitless since we either forget copyright like we used to know it, or we get left behind in development because we need to respect the copyright of everything and make contracts with every big outlet, etc. Big tech knows that, so they walk this gray zone walk to still train AI on copyrighted material but somehow proclaim they are not copyright-dependent.
I'm not saying this is a good development, just that I think we need to reassess how we treat copyright on a fundamental level under the current development structure of AI.
We need to slow down the development of AI and hinder monopolization of the market. My guess is it's too late, but we can still hope that maybe this time it will be different.

I definitely agree that copyright is a good half century in need of an update. Disney company and other contemporaries should never have been allowed the dominance and extension of copywrite that allows what feels like ownership of most global artistic output. They don't need AI, they have the money and interns to create whatever boardroom adjusted art they need to continue their dominance.
Honestly I think the faster AI happens, the more likely it is that we find a way out of the social and economical hierarchical structure that feels one step from anarcho-capitalistic aristocracy.
I just hope we can find the change without riots.

Artists: they’re stealing our work and building a company on it!
This outlet, years later: breaking news! Generative AI is hurting Disney’s bottom line by making Star Wars characters!
It's only a problem when a corporation's greed hurts another corporation's greed. Until then it's just business as usual.
Remember when the WGA went on strike?
I saw plenty of people arguing that writers and actors are overpaid in Hollywood too, and therefore shouldn't be listened to.
Funny thing, their demands included curtailing the use of AI.
