  In general — yes. Most of the time they do so by subjecting their eyeballs to ads. Do you think it’s a good idea to flood AI models with ads as well?

    don’t humans normally use adblockers? Or the library?

      The vast majority do not. We’re in a pretty tech savvy bubble here on Lemmy.

        Point is that accessing a website with an adblocker has never been considered a copyright violation.

      The library is legally allowed to hand out the books. However they are not allowed to replicate them and you are not allowed to borrow them with the goal to scan and copy it.

      While I am generally in the “copyright doesn’t matter when it comes to AI” camp, I also work in advertising. Most people do not use ad blockers.

      This is an interesting point that I haven’t previously considered.

    This is interesting. It seems a fair resolution would be to pay the content owner what they would have made in ad revenue.

    As long as the AI is not reproducing original works to the extent that it violates fair use, I don’t think copyright laws really apply. But there’s definitely lost revenue.

    It depends on the purpose of the model I suppose
