I'm guessing they have quite a bit more users and thus can negotiate better.
says in the article that firefox and safari aren't affected.
The article doesn't explain how that's the case at all.
Aren't all the big AI models trained on publicly available data?
No one ever changed their mind from an argument.
That you think this is true says more about you than people in general.
People can do that too, are they gonna sue all people?

I don't think "amount of work" is a good measurement for copyright, if you scribble something in 2 seconds on a piece of paper you still own the copyright, even if it's not a great piece of art.
It's honestly pretty much the same with ai, there's lots of settings, tweaking, prompt writing, masking and so on.. that you need to set up in order to get the result you desire.
A photographer can take shitty pictures and you can make shitty stuff with AI but you can also use both tools to make what you want and put lots of work into it.
Clarity.ms is on the list of blocked domains, I believe these are also blocked on the search engine.
