You can't wave away the ethical quagmire of tech firms violating copyright to train data as just "archiving the web." They're profiting from a tool used to generate fake works by real artists and porn videos of high school classmates https://www.nytimes.com/2024/…
![Quote: "[Meta] also conferred on gathering copyrighted data from across the internet, even if that meant facing lawsuits. Negotiating licenses with publishers, artists, musicians and the news industry would take too long, they said.
Like OpenAI, Google transcribed YouTube videos to harvest text for its A.I. models, five people with knowledge of the company’s practices said. That potentially violated the copyrights to the videos, which belong to their creators."](https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/247/753/001/942/541/original/b338fb533c969611.png)
