Are you also willing to work for OpenAI for free then? Have you contacted them with such an offer?

As long as I have access to the resulting model, sure. I thought I made that clear. Copyright is not as important as reaching the next stage of our intellectual evolution. Current-gen AI may not be sufficient to reach that stage, but I believe it is a necessary step.

Like the author of this screed, my work went into training every major model. I get paid back every time one of those models helps me learn or do something. The injustice, if it happens, will occur when a few well-heeled players like OpenAI succeed in locking the technology up with regulatory capture or (worse) if a few greedy, myopic assholes render it illegal or uneconomical to continue development by advocating copyright maximalism.

It's like saying that because a student reads a textbook, they now have to work for the author for free?
