    It’s not really about being scared. It’s about having their works used commercially without a license to do so. OpenAI is selling a tool that can “write in the style of George RR Martin”, trained on his works, and yet he wasn’t asked or paid for that.

      They’re obviously scared they’re not gonna get payed for nothing anymore. And they are scared they will be 100% replaceable. I don’t think the last part is reasonable.

      Imo they should pay authors who contribute in the datasets. But besides that there shouldn’t be any copyright on writing/drawing styles whatsoever.

        Agreed, the output of the model isn’t really the issue (other than providing evidence that those works are in the dataset), the inputs are. I would also like to see groups like wikipedia get something back from this too, OpenAI abused a ton of community funded resources and expects to sell that shit back to us as GPT subs.

          I see your point. If you’re interested in the topic, Jaron Lanier published a book about micro-payments for datasets in 2013. It’s an interesting read.

          If you’re too lazy you can also ask ChatGPT for a summary of the main points tho ;)
