The thread argues that the AI copyright conflict is a licensing problem, not an existential-risk issue.
- One point is that industrial-scale pretraining should not be treated as fair use, because companies are willing to pay for data and a licensing market already exists.
- Another point is that rights holders will need practical ways to collect returns when their work is used for training.
- The author says expecting AI labs to negotiate one-off deals with random individual creators is unrealistic, so the industry needs a scalable licensing structure.
