Sounds like you want trademark reform.

There are basically no requirements for maintaining trademarks. If a company owns a name they can use that name and branding forever, no matter how false it becomes, no matter how much the business or product changes, they can keep the name. This shouldn't be the case.

If an ice cream company is named after their two founders, the company shouldn't be able to keep using their names after they're no longer involved. But under current laws they can.

A glass company can build its reputation on making heatproof glass, then change the glass so its no longer heatproof, while still selling it under the same name. This is unjust.

Companies should be forced to rebrand upon major changes. Current trade mark laws are fundamentally misleading.

google's android camera app is designed to open google's gallery app. Google built an OS that has support for user selected app launching. They built a system that lets an app request the user's preferred gallery app to view photos, but then chose to not use it to force anyone using google's camera to also use their photos app. fuck google

I don't like most western RPGs because all the enemies are sponges. You can't sell weapon upgrades if the weapons are already balanced.

Western RPGs often have interesting systems like speech and other noncombat abilities. This is what keeps me coming back to RPGs despite everything. But upgrades are done with the same currency, so investing in speech means underinvestment in the manditory combat making it even more unpleasant.

I would much rather play a game about combat, movement, or speech than a game that awkwardly tries to make all three sit comfortabky next to each other. JRPGs are often more focused, so I do prefer them, a bit.

ooooooopppppps someday I will learn to read

Then what is a russian bot?

Companies are run by people. The human employees create copyrighted works that become the property of their employer by the terms of their contract. That's how work for hire contracts work....

You would know this if you have ever worked in any creative field.

Because fair use is an affirmative defense to copyright infringement. To use a fair use defense you have to admit your work is infringing, but argue that the infringement is justifiable.

Trying to defend the AI with fair use requires you to admit the AI itself is infringing, but justifiable, and by the doctrine of fair use, it is almost certainly not.

Only humans can hold copyrights. Your example would be a non-infringing work because it lacks direct copying. An AI doing the same would make an uncopyrightable work, with the AI itself being infinging if you tried the fair use defense.

Fair use is a legal doctrine relating to derivitave works based on copyrighted works. An AI model's fair use determination would be judged by the same standards and all derivative works.

It doesn't matter how they used the copyrighted works. This factor is about scale not intent.

There are four factors, and no single factor is determinative. But admitting their model uses as much training as possible makes their model less likely to be fair use.

One of the four fair use factors is the portion of the copyrighted work that was taken. For a finding of fair use under this factor, the infringing work must only take the amount of copyrighted material needed for the infringing work's purpose.

If they ripped every single file they have access to, there's no way to be found as fair use under this factor. If they argue they were using a curated list of only the works they needed to develop their model it could be fair use, but admitting to taking every possible work in their entirety is a surefire way to fail a fair use defense.

The commenters fragile mental disorder might be a social and personal pathology though.
