It feels like there are two equally valid sides to this argument that get muddied because of our current model’s/regulations inability to differentiate one over the other.
On the free-information side, I don’t think anyone would argue that AI shouldn’t be allowed to offer a general synopsis of a given book / series. From an author/creator’s POV, it feels like extortion to be able to summarize/recreate any given chapter/subsection to the point that the entire work could be reproduced near-verbatim.
IMO the question is, can we meaningfully draw a line between the two, and if so, how?
I don't think anyone is stopping AI learning on the synopses of books. Or learning on books having paid licensing costs. It's the wanting to have cake, eat cake and for free that is falling.
