Its not popular to say it, but I agree to some extent here too. We may need a wholesale reimagining of copyright/patents in many places to accept the new reality of both of building the tools (data to train) and in accepting the occasional bad output (copyright/patented function appears in output). I think watching the law evolve with the tech is going to have a lot of ups and downs.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Our laws and rules were created for a cultural context that is quickly becoming outdated. I feel there are many valid criticisms of AI today, but demonizing the technology doesn't allow for fruitful discussions. We need to evolve our thinking and we need to be open minded to do so first.

What makes the rules outdated? The fact that you want to get away with what they were designed to prevent?

Yes, I like doing things that people prevent me from doing.
