Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake. Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

It's not until an AI generates a copyrighted IP that it becomes an issue. It's like if I were trying to start an art business. You come to me and ask me to draw a princess. I've never seen a princess before, so I go online and look up images of princesses to get an idea what to draw. I go back to the studio and draw you a picture of Snow White. Me looking up princess images is fine. It's only when I sell a Disney® IP without their permission that it becomes illegal. And, even then, it's a civil matter, not criminal. permalink fedilink source parent
