It's a lot of mental gymnastic to think machine learning = human learning. Especially on HN, where people should understand scale matters a lot in real world.
It's generally consider ok to sell your fanart on comic festivals. But do you think it's okay that Disney starts selling fanart of One Piece without the publisher's permission?
A car and a pair of legs both move you from A point to B point. So why do laws treat automobiles and pedestrians so differently?

That's why I have put it in quotes. > But do you think it's okay that Disney starts selling fanart of One Piece without the publisher's permission?
It's why it's called "fair use". Fanart isn't the only case of fair use. Parody for example allows it. And AFAIK, no court yet have decided that AI "learning" is not fair use or what the limite are.
