    Facebook is claiming its use of copyrighted works for training was fair use.

    Yeah, teens downloading Metallica albums off Napster twenty years ago to listen in their parent’s basement was a serious crime, but Big Corp Inc. feeding books to the copyright erasing machine is somehow fair use. The gall.

                Yes, and? AI is not a person, and is not even remotely comparable to a person.

                Yes, and? People are neural networks too.
