If a larger youtuber steals the script and content of a video from a smaller youtuber, as far as i know, it wouldnt be illegal. It would hurt the smaller youtuber and benefit the larger one. It would make people mad if they found out about it, but there wouldnt be people who propose changing copyright law to include ideas
I am using youtubers as the example because this happened and a lot of people got angry and its similar to the AI situation
People can complain that something unethical is legal without proposing new copyright laws without flaws
Sure. But that's not what's happening when an AI is trained. It's not "stealing" the script or content of the video, it's analyzing them.
By analyzing, isnt it awarding points based on how well you can replicate it and redoing it in an attempt to obtain more points?
Very basically, yes. But the result is a model that doesn't actually contain the training data, it's too small for it to be physically possible.
Stealing script and content is a copyright violation. It could be a lawsuit but is usually ignored because of legal costs.
By stealing, i meant rewriting it, following the same points but using unique words. Is that illegal or are you referring to completely copying the text?
I thought you meant actual copying like when Linus tech tips used some Gamer's Nexus script word for word.
