You had originally said the user should be liable instead of OpenAI being liable.
> However, the lyrics are shown because the user requested them, shouldn't be the user be liable instead?
I would imagine the sociological rationale for allowing sex work would not map to a multi-billion-dollar company.
And to add, the social network example doesn't map because the user is producing the content and sharing it with the network. In OpenAI's case, they are creating and distributing copyrighted works.
No, the edited wording still conveys the same meaning. My edit was to fix another grammar typo.
The social networks are distributing such content AND benefiting from selling ads on them. Adding ads on top is a derivative work.
Personally I'm on the side of penalizing the side that provides the input, not the output:
- OpenAI training on copyrighted works. - Users requesting custom works based on copyrighted IP
That is my opinion on how it should be layered, that's it. I'm happy to discuss why it should be that way or why not. As I put in other comment, my concern is that mandating copyright filtering o each generative tool would end up propagating to every single digital tool, which as society we don't really want.
