Comment on AI companies have all kinds of arguments against paying for copyrighted content

Here is what deliberative experts way smarter and more knowledgeable than I am are saying ( on TechDirt )

TLDR: Letting AI be freely trained on human-made artistic content may be dangerous. We may decide to stop it so long as capitalists control who eats and lives. But copyright is not the means to legally stop it. This is a separate issue to how IP law is way, way broken. And precedents stopping software from training on copyrighted work will be used to stop humans from training on copyrighted work. And that’s bad.

Agree, it’s not much different from a human learning from all these sources and then applying said knowledge

  Scale matters. For example
  
  A bunch of random shops having security cameras, where their employees can review footage
  
  Every business in a country having a camera connected to a central surveillance network with facial recognition and search capabilities
  
  Those two things are not the same, even though you could say they’re “not much different”.
  
  Also the similarity between human learning and AI training is highly debatable.

    Both of your examples are governed by the same set of privacy laws, which talk about consent, purpose and necessity, but not about scale. Legislating around scale open up the inevitable legal quagmires of “what scale is acceptable” and “should activity x be counted the same as activity y to meet the scale-level defined in the law”.
    
    Scale makes a difference, but it shouldn’t make a legal difference w.r.t. the legality of the activity.

    Legally no difference

  When Google trained their playing neural network, they trained it to starcraft2 . It was better at it than professional gamer. It trained by watching 100years of play. Or 36500 days of play. Or 876000 hours of play.
  
  Does a human can do that ?
