The Future of AI Relies on a High School Teacher’s Free Database

I think there's plenty of room for a finer-grained permission framework and clear demand for one. I give it about a year, maybe 1.5 for all the interested parties and advocates to align behind a standard and make it happen via big-company enforcement and the occasional copyrught lawsuit (or, more commonly, enforcement via TOS).

Once that happens, of course the "black market" data aggregators won't care, but they're small and their product can't be used by legitimate channels so it can't compete in the mainstream market of ideas. What capital will do to screw over artists though is... Pay them. Once a framework is in place, a hundred or a thousand legit artists can produce enough AI seed-feed to legally supplant the work of hundreds of thousands.

This is the thing that will never happen, because all artists are interested parties, and as I said, they are not a unified bloc. So whatever solution big companies come up with for themselves, we all know ahead of time that they will 1) overwhelmingly benefit big corporations and 2) but insufficient to address artist concerns. When they coalesce around whatever standards they end up with, artists will still largely be making the same complaints.

Too true. I should probably have said "All parties with enough political and capital clout to make trouble for other parties." The disorganized masses are disorganized and usually don't end up with a seat at the table if they don't organize.
