    Then they need to come up with a different model.

    Trump swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. That means that, among many other things, he swore to uphold the Constitutional mandate for equal protection under the law. And that means that AI companies are just as much subject to copyright law as anyone else.

    If they can’t meet their responsibility to obey the law, then that’s their problem.

    (Look at me - pretending that this administration, or most of the rest of the government, charged as they are with checking and balancing the executive branch, has even the faintest concern for the law…)

      Yes, but Trump also lies constantly. I doubt that oath means any more to him than anything else he’s ever said.

      Copyright is not an obstacle because training is transformative use.

      These companies are subject to the law, and that’s why they’re getting sued over pirating all their training material.

      Yeah you can’t pick or choose what gets enforced. If AI can use it then everything is public domain and copyright is gone.

      Old habits die hard, I guess
