Copyright is pretty terrible, and I don’t think we should expand the power of copyright in order to get a handle on AI.
The good news is, we have other tools.
Gen AI firms are deliberately using creators’ own content to compete in the same space; that’s anti-competitive, hit em with antitrust
Nobody should be forced to accept an AI training provision in their contract; hit em with unions
If you identify a private detail of a person through large-scale statistics, that’s an invasion of privacy
Deepfaking someone is a violation of likeness rights and privacy; for sexual content, it should be a sexual offense as well
AI slop is polluting our communication channels while the devs say they bear no responsibility for it; we should treat info pollution as seriously as we (should) treat environmental pollution
Content provenance is also a good idea, though I don’t like the centralized nature of C2PA.
We have plenty of options for regulating here. They want you to think copyright is the only path, because they win either way there.
