Kazuo Ishiguro, one of my favourite writers, on AI:

“I think many of us are concerned about the fact that the copyrights were completely infringed.

Our work was being taken, all my books have been taken to train AI, but if the copyrights can be respected then it can be used in a way that, say, a traditional researcher would use somebody else’s book.

Just because it’s AI, it shouldn’t be an excuse to just raid people’s intellectual property.”

@ricmac

Somewhat bemused by the "Information wants to be free" #bittorent generation ripping music, software, games and print media with abandon suddenly finding faith in #copyright enforcement when it comes to #AI

@n_dimension Yes, there is absolutely a disconnect here between the “copyleft” crowd and AI. I think the copyleft proponents, which btw is a massive and powerful faction on both Mastodon and Bluesky, tend to argue against AI on the grounds that it is slop. They ignore the potential value in AI. Whereas I am much more aligned with Ishiguro’s stance that creators of all kind have a right to own their content and seek some kind of permission and compensation structure from AI companies.
