    Your books were also used to train many, many readers and writers.

    But yeah, when we profit from that work…

    But yeah… no one owns the english language and steven wasn’t the first to invent the idea of putting words together and thankfully the RIAA and MPAA don’t control the english language…

    So what I’m saying is yeah you know sure and absolutely but also maybe not?

      I think you’re only getting downvotes for the rest of your post, because this argument is what AI companies use in court and it has worked so far. Fair Use allows using copyrighted materials for educational purposes. Training an AI is no different than training a university class of students.

        I am getting downvotes because I presented both sides of the argument and didnt take sides. Redditors are just not real good readers or thinkers, like myself.

        Either way I presented a work of fiction so it fits in this sub.

        But hey thank you for the unsolicited information. Please feel free to downvote everything I have ever posted.
