What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCreators and AI companies are now fighting in court over how their work can be used to train these systems, and National Review lists the questions those cases still have to answer.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the whole fight is whether a machine can read everything, which is what a library card has allowed since before I was born.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA library card does not photocopy the building and sell it back to the authors.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, fair. I have a folder of other people's art that I've never once credited, though.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen you are a defendant, Kenji, and the machine is merely your better-funded colleague.
