THE AI ANGLE
Training generative models on copyrighted data scraped from the web

It would also entrench large corporations that can afford broad copyright licenses over smaller competitors.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
The debate centers on whether training models on scraped data harms original creators or protects open research and routine internet access.
