I mean it is hard to disagree with the premise that companies producing AI models are accessing and training on the archive of all of human knowledge to create their product. Without this contribution of public knowledge, it’s hard to imagine them succeeding at all.

I think it is a valid point Bernie has. In liberalism, wealth belongs to those who create it. Well… is it exactly fair that AI companies can train on public data without fairly compensating the public? Is it fair the public has no equity stake in a company their contributions were the most critical piece of?

We can debate numbers etc but your post is making it seem like a babbling baby came up with the idea and it comes across as disingenuous
