A copyright debate says unlicensed AI training is value creation, not value transfer

A reply argues that calling unlicensed training on protected works an “enormous transfer of value” is misleading.
The point being made is that creators did not already own the value being discussed; rather, the claim is that AI developers discovered or created new value at substantial cost and then refused to share the surplus. The thread frames the dispute as one about whether the issue is value transfer or value creation and compensation.
