“‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says.”
Then fucking pay for it honestly or fucking perish, you fucking grifters.

I keep having to repeat until I'm hoarse: "mere profit potential does not confer legitimacy on a business model"—see also child pornography and illegal drugs: both are profitable, neither of them are legal.
If your business model cannot operate without copyright violation then it should be no more legal than any other large-scale IP piracy operation.
@cstross @lilithsaintcrow I do not think they said that they _violated_ copyright, but that a language corpus of the required size necessarily includes copyrighted material.
@fpbhb @lilithsaintcrow What part of "a language corpus of the required size necessarily includes copyrighted material" do you not recognize as being copyright violation?
(It's like being "a little bit" pregnant: it's an all-or-nothing condition, no grey areas apply in this context.)
@cstross @fpbhb @lilithsaintcrow A working movie review industry also "necessarily includes copyrighted material" without violating copyright.
