    So when’s the ruling against OpenAI and the like using the same copyrighted material to train their models

      But OpenAI not being allowed to use the content for free means they are being prevented from making a profit, whereas the Internet Archive is giving away the stuff for free and taking away the right of the authors to profit. /s

      Disclaimer: this is the argument that OpenAI is using currently, not my opinion.

        the other is fair use

        That’s very much up for debate still.

        (I am personally still undecided)

          I think that’s the difference right there.

          One is up for debate, the other one is already heavily regulated currently. Libraries are generally required to have consent if they are making straight copies of copyrighted works. Whether we like it or not.

          What AI does is not really a straight up copy, which is why it’s fuzzy, and much harder to regulate without stepping in our own toes, specially as tech advances and the difference between a human reading something and a machine doing it becomes harder and harder to detect.
