its not deemed illegal yet

its in a weird place imo, with japan ruling that anything goes for AI data, other countries are put under pressure to allow the same

ie,

you're allowed to scrape the web

you're allowed to take what you scrape and put it in a database

you're allowed to use your database to inform on decisions you might make, or content you might create

but once you put AI model in the mix, all of a sudden there's problems, despite the fact that making the model is 10000% harder than doing all of the points mentioned above, the problem of using someone else's work somehow becomes a problem when it never was before

and if truly free and open source LLMs come into the game, then might the corporate ones become crippled from copyright? that's bad for business
