People who are not techies and have a clue about Stable Diffusion and DALL-E being trained on copyrighted images without their permission or attribution / credit knew this? This was absolutely unsurprising [0] [1].

Stability AI knew they would be sued to the ground if they trained their AI generating music equivalent called 'Dance Diffusion' model on thousands of musicians without their permission and used public domain music instead.

So of course they think it is fine to do it to artists copyrighted images without their permission or attribution, as many AI grifters continue to drive everything digital to zero. That also includes Copilot being trained on AGPL code.

Anything that weakens copyright is something that should be supported. Copyright has expanded well beyond its original goals to in fact be a harm to those goals

Copyright (in the US) was NOT in fact created to protect creators, it was to encourage creation and advance science. Today copyright is being used to curb and monopolize creation and prevent advancement (case in point this very story)

On the other hand, copyleft licenses are being used to protect creators. Without copyright protection, what is stopping companies from blatantly violating even more open-source licenses?

note I never said anything about elimination of copyright completely, I said weaken it.

The original copyright term was for 14 years, not for Life.
