We’re all selfish in this world: “Google has thrown its weight behind OpenAI in the intensifying battle, reinforcing the argument that strict copyright enforcement threatens the future of artificial intelligence. Both companies, facing mounting legal challenges, have called on the US government for regulatory changes that would allow AI firms to train on publicly available data, including copyrighted material, without facing legal uncertainty.”
The artificial intelligence industry, already grappling with sky-high costs and a rocky path to profitability, is now embroiled in a high-stakes legal and policy battle over copyright. AI companies like OpenAI and Google find themselves at the center of lawsuits that could define the limits of AI training and reshape the industry’s future. At the heart of the conflict lies a fundamental question: should AI models have unrestricted access to copyrighted material for training purposes?
Just imagine that because it is AI, the small money they pay me for my books will not be paid, because one AI company has the rights to use the books as it wants. “O di egwu” [truly mystical] on how money can make humans lose sense of logic.
Think of this: if they can find money to buy Nvidia chips at $billions, why can’t they find $millions to pay copyright owners? I just hope no judge approves their prayers.

The beauty of America is that property rights exist. The money I get yearly from the US Government on my patent is valuable. Since they sought part licensing rights and I approved, the money has been flowing. If because of AI, from copyrights to patents, everything is destroyed, can we have a future? AI companies: find money and pay copyright owners! Between AI and property rights, we vote property rights,

Capitalism can be soulless. It raises the question again, who runs the world: governments, corporations or the people? Nobody asked anyone to embark on infinite AI journey, now they are running out data to train their overhyped toys, they now want to strip everyone out there still surviving, means of economic security. When people finally become jobless, with corporations holding all the cards, what will be the use of AI? It’s impossible to quantify human stupidity and greed.
Where will the red line finally be drawn, whispers in your bedroom? If those hungry for copyrighted works don’t want to pay, it simply means they don’t want them. There’s nothing like fair use when you are stealing from everyone for the benefit of the few. This giant scam called AI will someday finally burst, and the world will breathe better. For now let the organized crime keep cornering resources and pushing ordinary people off the cliff. They will still steal the energy sources you desperately need to train their AI toys, for the good of AI…
As always, those who are after your life will keep assuring you that they are there to protect you, until your head disappears.
