Comment on Universal Adds 'No AI Training' Warning to Movies

Can it be legal, at least in theory? (I’m not asking about common sense, at this point it is all hopeless already) And what next? “No blondes, negros and French should watch this movie!”

The legality of training AI is a far from settled subject. Some have argued it’s copyright infringement. Others have said it’s transformative to a degree that should be sufficient for fair use to apply. Yet others have said that it’s most akin to a human looking at art and being inspired by it, which is not copyright infringement at all.
If you want my take, we should judge the output, not the training. AI can be made to generate an output that would be copyright infringement if a human did it, and it should still be infringing if a human does. But most AI slop is just slop with no resemblance to much of anything. That’s crappy, but not copyright infringement.
