@baldur This is really the crux of the issue around the recent batch of generative models including LLMs. They would simply not exist if not for the training data, and the legal basis for harvesting that data is a bit shaky.

I hope that it will become common grounds that artists will get a cut if their data is used in AI training

Me too. Without that, it’s wholesale theft.

@fgtech Yeah, if there isn’t some sharing then the social contract for publishing creative works online is broken. And that could have far-reaching consequences that won’t benefit anybody.

@baldur The way I see it, things I post online are for the benefit of other humans, not bots or large corporations. If a search engine wants to index so other humans can find it, that’s fine as long as they can get to my site from the results. Break that virtuous chain and we have a problem.
