I’ve generally been against giving AI works copyright, but this article presented what I felt were compelling arguments for why I might be wrong. What do you think?

    I share your sentiment, but I also defend the idea that we shouldn’t let the biggest tech monopolies get away with making bank from other people’s work and creations without their consent first. It’s a bit like licenses in the open source world: it’s not because I put code up there that I mean it to be used for closed source/commercial applications without compensation/consent (GPL), or I mean that, actually (MIT). Similarly, there are CC licenses (and alternatives) to navigate the field of creative works, and we should put Google, Facebook, Microsoft and others back at their place for completely shitting on that. And if the copyright law isn’t the right tool for the job, then let’s find it!
