Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic hits out at copyright lawsuit filed by music publishing corporations, claiming the content ingested into its models falls under ‘fair use’ and that any licensing regime created to manage its use of copyrighted material in training data would be too complex and costly to work in practice
GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright::undefined
What’s the difference? Humans are just the intent suppliers, the rest of the art is mostly made possible by software, whether photoshop or stable diffusion.
Copyright can only be granted to works created by a human, but I don’t know of any such restriction for fair use. Care to share a source explaining why you think only humans are able to use fair use as a defense for copyright infringement?
Because a human has to use talent+effort to make something that’s fair use. They adapt a product into something that while similar is noticeably different. AI will
make things that are not just similar but not noticeably different.
There’s not an effort in creation. There’s human thought behind a prompt but not on the AI following it.
If allowed to AI companies will basically copyright everything…
You are aware of the insane amounts of research, human effort and the type of human talent that is required to make a simple piece of software, let alone a complex artificial neural network model whose function is to try and solve whatever stuff…right?
So they’re admitting that their entire business model requires them to break the law. Sounds like they shouldn’t exist.
Reproduction of copyrighted material would be breaking the law. Studying it and using it as reference when creating original content is not.
humans studying it, is fair use.

Your reply has nothing to do with fair use doctrine.
