US Copyright Office found AI companies breach copyright. Its boss was fired

Big Tech: We shouldn’t pay, each individual piece of content is worth basically nothing.

Also Big Tech: We added 300.000.000 users worth of GTM because we trained in the 10 specific anime movies of Studio Ghibli and are selling their style.

The funny thing is that style is not copyrightable.

"Pretraining data us worth basically nothing."

(Raises $10 billion based on estimated worth of the resulting models.)

"We can't share the GPT4 prettaining data or weights because they're trade secrets that generate over a billion in revenue for us."

I'll believe they're worth nothing when (a) nobody is buying AI models or (b) AI companies stop using the copyrighted works to train models they sell. So far, it looks like they're lying about the worth of the training data.

Exept it's a rectangle with 4 rounded corner.

Patents are not the same thing as copyright.
