They are indeed indulged into the AI hype and are hardly contributing anything other than trampling over the copyright of digital artists and running everything to zero.

There is nothing fair use about training on a copyrighted image, code, music and have the model output contain 90% of the original training content verbatim and call it 'AI'.

I can only say that it is another grift.

> have the model output contain 90% of the original training content verbatim

considering the size of a model is but a fraction of the size of the training data, this statement is in no way accurate

I'd think it's more comparable to compression. No one would argue that a jpeg or mp3 file can't contain a reasonable representation of the original because it is smaller.
