Yep, copyright doesn’t apply to AI generated content.

trained on stolen books? then I guess I can download these from anywhere I may find for free as well, right?

you couldn’t pay me to listen to an AI narrated book

There’s just something about how repetitive thier cadence can be, and putting random infections and stresses on words where it doesn’t make sense.

How about I spin up an AI model that outputs a near 1:1 copy of the training data?
Does that circumvent the copyright?

Duno, probably to some extent, similarly to how remixes of music sometimes have to pay royalties to the source of the sample if it’s recognisable…

AI voices are not trained on books.
The ethical issue there is more around cloning celebrities

but AI itself is
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not sure what you are trying to say here. AI itself is an equation.

AI models have been trained on copyright protected books illegally. Maybe the voice have not
pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well, yeah, you can. Whoever told you that you can’t, don’t believe them, they are probably being payed to say it. You could also pay for the book to support the author but most likely your money will not go to the author so don’t bother.

I like your way of thinking

isn’t the current law not recognising AI stuff for copyright?
IE, downloading their audiobooks illegally is impossible are they are by default in the public domain.
ArtificialHoldings@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Hmmm, you might have a case but maybe not.
The US Copyright office currently does not recognize protections for AI-generated works, and for portions of complete works that are AI-generated. For example, if a comic has graphics generated by AI but a script written by people, the graphics and character likenesses, etc are not protected by copyright.
For audiobooks, the original work and the accompanying recording are both protected by copyright. The audiobook is considered a derivative work, so it may still be protected based on the fact that the original work is rightfully protected by copyright.

This has actually got me thinking differently about AI all together.
The best use for AI needs to be for the individual. I want MY ai to read books or research with or complete tasks for me.
I don’t want another company to do it for me or monetize it or steal content with it.
