How about we drop copyright terms to 30 years?

10... And that may be too long.

We are about to witness an incredibly power grab. They will be claiming practically the entirety of human intellectual works for example also for contributions made by billions of users on social media. Basically they will monopolize the entire power of GenAI for themselves.

This wil practically make free use of that power illegal. Generative AI will eliminate more and more jobs in the coming decades while we won't be allowed to use it at all.

If they can't afford a thing they want, that's too bad.

The fact that their dream-AI 'cant exist' without stealing from everyone there is only one message to bounce back there from the rest of us;

'good'

The copyrighted material has no business being used for AI training anyways. Like why train AI to write books or make art when you could feed it documentation and teach it data entry instead like stuff that would actually work well for this and wouldn't require copyrighted works.

Scanning documents, recognizing text and populating a form is already a feature for document scanning. It's not labeled as ai, because it's already commercially viable.

I mean feed it documentation for software so if you need to do something obscure in like the Outlook server you can ask for a step by step guide. They need to fix the hallucination thing for that though, nonsense responses to technical questions are far too common for me to trust it currently.
