Comment on If Creators Suing AI Companies Over Copyright Win, It Will Further Entrench Big Tech
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoI mean, are you saying that anyone who makes anything should be allowed to sell what they make and anyone should be allowed to share it for free?
Precisely. I do not believe that treating intangible things like expressions or ideas as “property” is beneficial to humanity as a whole.
Or do you just think there is nothing special about AI art and all of everyone’s work should be in the public domain?
This. I do not support copyrights. They are a blight on human creativity since the first moment they were put into enforcement and all they did is make non-artistic middlemen rich.
All these problems we have now, is because we are trying to shoehorn a 100-year old legal framework, created when people didn’t even consider something like the internet might exist, to generative AI. This won’t work. It will only be used to screw the poor even worse.

Very interesting take, I was mistakenly under the impression that you thought that AI derived artwork should be treated differently than something made by a human creator.
