I'm glad about this, honestly.

If you want to use an AI model trained on vast sums of publicly posted work, go for it, but be ready for the result to be made into a truly public work that you don't own at the end of it all.

I agree. I think the effective entry into the public domain of AI generated material, in combination with a lot of reporting/marking laws coming online is an effective incentive to keep a lot of material human made for large corporate actors who don't like releasing stuff from their own control.

What I'd like to see in addition to this is a requirement that content-producing models all be open source as well. Note, I don't think we need weird new IP rights that are effectively a "right to learn from" or the like.

I'm 100% in favor of requiring models to be open source. That's been my belief for a while now, because clearly, if someone wants to make an AI model off the backs of other people's work, they shouldn't be allowed to restrict or charge access to those models to the same people who had their work used, let alone other people more broadly.
