The difference is that when the robot reads that book, it maintains a verbatim copy of that book as part of it's training material indefinitely and can reference and re-reference that material infinitely. That is not how it works when a human reads a book.

The 'copy' that the AI retains indefinitely is a verbatim copy of the original work, and the entire point of "copyright" is to control how and where copies are used.

Yes, there are 'fair use' exceptions to copyright. I don't think you realize it, but your argument is less about whether this violates copyright (it absolutely does under the textbook definition) and more about whether there should be a fair-use exemption for AIs; you seem to think yes, I would disagree.

I'd also argue the AI example qualifies as it as 'derivative work' based on the original, which STILL would require honoring copyright laws and compensating the creators of the original works. Basically, before reading the book it was just "AI". After reading the book it has become "AI + book1", a derivative work, and on and on and on.

What I hate most about a lot of series is that they come up with a good beginning and a decent middle, but no end. And so if it gets popular enough they just try to coast on the decent midddle indefinitely until loyal viewers get bored and the writing becomes monotonous, millking the life out of it. So many good shows devolve into this that it's hard for me to want to invest my time into any new series.

I think mini-series is the better format where they have a defined beginning, middle, end from the start. This is essentially thd packaged format of a movie, just longer.

It's suddenly going to get a lot harder to verbally say I'm an ex-twitter user and know that people will understand what I mean.

This is one of my favorite fallacies to call them out on...it wasn't god who made man in his image...man made god in man's image...and therefore their god suffers from all the same flaws that man suffers from, which are vast.

The actors mouths approximately match the overdubbed language, at least for English.

I wish this were true. Netflix is a worst-in-class offender imo. They will shoot a film in three different native languages so that about 1/3 the dialog sounds and looks correct for your native language. And then for the other 2/3 of the dialog, it's a horribly butchered dub job from 2 different languages back to english. I can't watch them because my brain rejects the horrible dub and it pre-occupies my thoughts rather than me just being able to enjoy the movie.

Tech like this can't come fast enough. i'm really looking forward to it.

Even worse than that is acceptance of "freaking" in place of "fucking". The words are internalized inside the brain to have the same exact meaning in this context, it's just they take offense to certain arrangements of consonants andd vowel combinations to deliver the same message. It's like they think their god is stupid enough to fall for a semantical trick.

What did they really think was going to happen?

I think what they thought would happen was that reddit would relize they have inadvertantly united users, subreddit mods, and 3rd party developrs (many of which are ironically from subreddits that ordinarily despise each other) into a common cause against reddit...and that reddit would reconsider their actions and find a way not to murder 3rd party apps.
