Yeah I agree with copyright just being about 20 years or so, but more just for the sake of art and having a robust public domain that can preserve cultural things. If that also benefits AI in some way, sure, whatever.
I think ultimately there’s always going to be someone who doesn’t give a fuck about copyright anyway, be it China or just some random person on the internet who’ll eventually train an open-source LLM on everything they can get their hands on. The current copyright system hampers innovation (not just in AI, but in all sorts of areas) and holds back culture for the sake of making a handful of corporations rich, and is largely irrelevant nowadays anyway because of the internet IMO.

It’s especially silly because training is transformative use. If the robot read every book in the library, great, that’s what a library is for.
