  Why can’t I pirate stuff without risking jail like AI companies?

    If you read a book you can talk about it, quote it, draw characters from that book, write your own ending, etc.

    Isn’t that kind of the same? Let’s say some day we have an AI with near human intelligence, why can’t the AI be trained on copyright works, just like humans, all our school books are copyrighted works?

      Because you paid for that book?

        So if AI companies pay for a book or music (like a consumer) it’s no problem? Because I don’t think this is about paying for content, it’s that content holders refuse to work with AI companies.

    Why do you think you can’t? What do you think was illegal?

    You can. Distributing copies is illegal, not downloading them. That’s why torrents are bad and streaming sites are fine. (Some exceptions might apply depending on your country).
