Thread argues that AI models may not be IP, but data acquisition still matters

BlancheMinerva · x · 2026-07-25

The post says there is a strong argument that models themselves are not IP, while also drawing a distinction between model training and how training data is obtained.

It suggests that training a model on data without permission may be legal in some cases, but illegally obtaining copies of books to train a model would still be wrong. The thread centers on the legal status of models versus the legality of the means used to build them.
