    You should have the discussions first. Not after you already profited off someone else’s work. If the argument should be about whether they can use the data or not, then harvesting it first is absolutely harmful to the discussion you claim is important. You can’t just argue one side is in bad faith when the other side is already objectively acting in bad faith if we are to assume the discussion is real.

      But we are way past that. And legally while they are walking a thin line it seems that LLMs are going to win the legal challenges.

      I don’t think stopping or slowing LLM development is going to work, because then more questionable countries who really don’t give a fuck about IP will pull ahead.

      If you want my honest opinion I don’t think these LLMs companies are stealing and I do think artists are getting the shit end of the stick at the same time. We are heading towards and AI dystopia and I think the way to address is is through more solid social welfare programs instead of fight about IP. While artists are the focus, this AI revolution is coming for all labor. Artists are unfortunately the first ones being impacted by it.

      I think people should stop fighting about the minor things and instead prep for the inevitable unemployment this will bring. LLMs are really just the tip of the iceberg.
