AI training is data theft not IP theft
It can be both...
Yeah, it can be both, like, if you want to argue that in our current capitalist society people need to be compensated fairly for their work, I'll hear that argument, but I don't think it's the best or most accurate framing. I think it's just as obnoxious reddit made a deal with google to train on my (and everyone else's) comments throughout the website as I do the possibility it was trained on my artwork, and I'm not alone in that.
The data theft is another story, but there's clearly an IP theft angle to anti-AI arguments, as seen in the other person response.
His other comment applies just as easily to to stolen medical images, like this woman's , as it does more creative works. It feels violating either way. Virtually no one is worried about Mickey Mouse appearing in data sets, but lots of people do feel wronged when their emails are trained on without permission or compensation, even though they're not really IPs.
