Please explain to the lawyers in 1980 who wrote the contract for a published a book what precisely generative AI, Twitter and the internet are so they can be sure to account for their fair use in their contract… until five years ago none of us knew what this stuff would do. And, I’d mention, that Google Books has been pummeled by lawsuits for pretty much the same reason and ended up needing to pull almost all books from their free reading section.
There is a massive difference between AI tech in the 70s and today. The scale we’re able to achieve is orders of magnitude beyond what was dreamed of. These modern issues were conceived as taking much longer to arrive and giving the legal system more time to catch up. Our legal system can force a common baseline of behavior on our new technology and that will be necessary to have a healthy balance of power.
