That ship sailed long, long ago with ImageNet, I'm afraid. All that theft is part of "the economy" now, which means it ain't comin' back. Best we can hope for is a legal decision that says, "AI doesn't make shit. It's all public".


Funny how people complained about chinese factories stealing IP and wanting protection, but now they defend OpenAI and others, and even rejoice at the idea that this will "free society". Not clear to what it will be free to do since many that were left without jobs due to said factories have switched to white collar work, which is now to be stolen by ... the people that complained about china stealing their IP. It's hilarious to watch this mass histeria kickstarted by one single corporation. People are literarily like cattle - you can steer them any direction you wish if you know how.

A tale as old as time, "it's different when we do it".


Funny how there's so many well paid IP lawyers around, and they focused so hard lobbying to extend the copyright to 100+ years for simple copying, but they never had the imagination and creativity that copyright is supposed to be all about protecting, to extend copyright beyond that.


Frankly, I'm quite tired of having artists steal each others' ideas without payment. To say nothing of children.
