Trying to prevent AI from learning from copyrighted content would look completely stupid in a decade or two when we have AIs that are just as capable as humans, but solely due to being made of silicon rather than carbon are banned from reading any copyrighted material.

Banning a synthetic brain from studying copyrighted content just because it could later recite some of that content is as stupid as banning a biological person from studying copyrighted content because it could later quote from it verbatim.

We have this now with humans. I've been in a lifelong sruggle for knowledge and tools that I can afford.

It's not exactly a synthetic brain though, is it? LLMs are more like lookup tables for the texts they're trained on.

We will not have "AIs as capable as humans" in a couple decades. AIs will keep being tools used by humans. If you use copyrighted texts as input to a digital transformation, that's vopyright infringement. It's essentially the same situation as sampling in music, and imo the same solutions can be applied here: e.g. licenses with royalties.
