Why is human downloading a file called pirating and AI scraping called training
In this age of AI, with respect to copyright, looks like AI has more freedoms than humans. Sites like Anna's Archive, the PirateBay etc are blocked for humans(in India for example) and if you download and read a book, its called piracy. But if the same book is fed to an AI for training, apparently its fine and dandy. So Artificial Intelligence has more freedoms than Actual Intelligence? 4 comments on Hacker News.
