And your claims about legal rights are irrelevant; hordes of actual legal professionals are working on this many different aspects of this problem right now, and it will be up to a whole lot of court cases to determine what legal rights exist, along with whatever statutes are passed. And those legal rights will vary in different jurisdictions. Probably in significant ways (for example, consider the different standards for intellectual property rights in, say, China vs. the USA).Do you have a legal right to read my words right now? After all, you must have made a copy of them on your computer to do so, and I never gave you explicit permission. You didn't pay me or offer me any other compensation. Is it theft? I have posted images of my art on the internet; every time someone viewed those images, they must have made a copy. Theft?When you memorize lines from a play, did you steal them? What about when you learn to play a song that someone else wrote? What about when you perform it for your friends? What about when you take basic ideas from that and other songs that you have learned over the years but rearrange them in new ways?No one knows how this will all come out. But I am very, very confident that it will not come out with all generative AI being labeled "theft." Not least because what you are talking about is better described as potential "copyright infringement" and no one is going to be going to jail.</blockquote>
