MODERATORS
At least they're being honest about it. 99% of the companies training AI or selling people's data to AI companies are doing so without telling anyone.
Having said that, Twitch streams are public almost all of the time so complaining that they're being used in ways the creator never intended is a bit like complaining that someone caught you picking your nose in public.
We learned this lesson in the 90s: Once something goes public on the Internet, it is no longer under the creator's/publisher's control. People can and will do whatever TF they want with it. As long as they're not redistributing it without permission, that is legal.
It's everyone's right to do whatever TF they want with the stuff that's literally sent to their computer on purpose. That includes using that thing to train AI.
Exactly. As long as they don’t sell it or anything directly derived from it for profit afterwards. Else that would be copyright infringement, as has been tested in court thousands of times.
people have always been against stealing creators' content
now some of y'all for some reason are fine with it if it's a multi trillion dollar company doing the stealing :|
