‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says::Pressure grows on artificial intelligence firms over the content used to train their products
I see and understand your point regarding trademark, but I don’t understand how removing copyright or patents would have this effect, could you elaborate ?
Small business comes up with something, big business takes idea and puts it in all their stores/factories. Small business loses out because they can’t compete. Small business goes poof trying to compete.
Is it not what is already happening with our current system ? The little guy never have the ressources to fight legal battle against the big guy and enforce it’s “intellectual property”.
And the opposite would be true in a world without patent, small businesses could win because they would be free to reuse and adapt big businesses’ ideas.
It feels very simplistic to reduce patents to “protection of the little business”, in our current world they mostly protect the big ones.
Also this small example doesn’t elaborate about how removing copyrights would so negatively affects our society
There’s a reason why the sharks on shark tank ask if ideas are patented. Without a patent, your idea can be ripped off without any recompense.
Sure there are problems with some patents, such as software patents, but the system should be reformed rather than completely tossed.
I mean we’ve seen it work multiple times against Apple where a smaller company has been able to enforce their patent against them.
Well, I was just giving an example of something that is bad about not having a patent system. Personally, I think the patent system is good thing, but it needs a lot of reworking and we don’t and probably won’t ever have the proper government to fix it what with all the big businesses living in the politician’s pockets.
