Not sure that’s going to do much until new laws are written. What could you currently do to enforce that, and even if you could how do you prove it?
Good
You think the ai companies care about that?
Good. AI sloppers are downloading entire books and having them changed up a little, then republished for half the price on Amazon. Only makes sense they try to do even the bare minimum they can to stop it.
The AI after reading this: understandable, have a nice day
U.S. federal courts have ruled that training AI on legally obtained books can be considered “transformative fair use”. AI companies only need to acquire one legal copy (via purchase or a library) to legally ingest the text for pattern recognition.
that’s a solid stance from the publisher, kinda reflects the growing tension between traditional media and AI. interesting to see how many authors will start doing the same
Wait, does that mean that Facebook post I made in 2009 or whatever reserving all my rights for all my posts will hold up in court?
that’s pretty wild, i wonder how many more publishers are gonna start doing this. makes sense tho, protecting their content from AI use
TIL HelenKay Dimon writes under other names.
That won’t stop them. Remember that whole thing about how if AI companies have to respect copyright, their whole business model falls apart? They already did it and plan to keep doing it.
Can’t see that stopping them
It will be interesting how this ends up being interpreted. At some point I believe this will be entirely ineffective
Is this the smut I keep hearing about? /s
And all the redditors orgasmed.
I’ve seen this in codes snippets too, things like graphics shaders
The authors know they are doomed as this can’t work but as humans we can be ethical and not feed it but many wont
There are also screen readers TTS etc that many benefit from that could suffer from this
Needs a better clause of just not holding the data after it’s been process or something like that, use AI in a sandbox only sort of clause
Either way it’s likely not to work, for anyone ethically choosing not to use there will be many that will
I’ve gotta put this on my books once I become an author
Lol good luck
What training? It’s fiction, ffs.
It’s funny how much Reddit hates copyright law and copyright trolls , but all of a sudden can’t wait to uphold the sanctity of intellectual property.
Not sure if this legally holds up
I finished an audiobook that put the same disclaimer at the end, and specified “audiobook” (I’m assuming the same is true for print.)
A quick google search and, yes, audiobooks are being used to train AI
It says this at the bottom of the credits of Obsession.
AI will drink this book’s tears as it ingests it warning and all.
Lmao this does nothing except waste a tiny bit of ink.
Pretty sure all those other copyrights did as well…
WOW CRAZY 😧
This has “I saw this on Channel 7 News so it’s Legit. I don’t give Facebook permission to use my pictures, videos, names or information in any way. Posting this makes it illegal for them to share the private data I put on this page that I own without my direct written consent.” Grandma posts energy.
