In a surprising move, Japan’s government recently reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy allows AI to use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise.”

    That’s so fricking sad.

    Adobe has a much better policy where AI is only tained on stock images, and they are also working on a royalty model for it. This approach is so much better than continuing the exploitation of artists.

    Also lol - does this apply to Nintendo and Sony works too? Cause I don’t think they will sit quietly if that happens?

      “Nintendo, you can’t take down my Ocarina of Time fan game because I used AI to help code it!”
