OpenAI's justification for why training data is fair use, not infringement [pdf]
Something that is very disturbing in seeing people compare AI models to humans is the seeming implication by many of them that humans only have rights because a law says they do, and that there are no rights inherent to being a human (which AI models are not).<p>Arguing that because a human can do something, an AI model should be allowed to as well, shows a remarkable lack of value of humans.<p>Humans <i>are</i> more valuable than AI models, and <i>should</i> retain many inherent rights that AI models should not.<p>AI models are just pieces of software, they&#x27;re not actual intelligence or sentience or life. And companies using them are just profit-driven companies, not benevolent child-rearers of a new lifeform.<p>This entire case is just a corporate power-grab seeking to profit from the work of others for free without legal repercussion, and it&#x27;s sad seeing so many people jump to support the corporations.
