But OpenAI will do the same?

Perhaps, and when that happens I would be equally disdainful towards them.

In the United States there was a judgement made the other day saying that works created soley by AI are not copyright-able. So that that would put a speed bumb there.
I may have misunderstood what you though.

Yeah, they might not copyright it, but after it becomes the 'one true AI', it will be at the hands of Microsoft, so please do not act friendly towards them.

It will turn on you just like every private company has.

(don't mean specifically you, but everyone generally)

Huh. Doesn't this means technically AI cannot do copyright infringement.

Nah, it would mean that you cannot copyright a work created by an AI, such as a piece of art.

E.g. if you tell it to draw you a donkey carting avocados, the picture can be used by anyone from what I understand.

That's what I said. Copyright infringement is when there is another copyrightable object that is copy of first object. AI is not witin copyright area. You can't copyright it, but also you can't be sued for copyright infringement too.

Yes. Same for Public Domain, but PD is another status. PD applies only to copyrightable work.

It's like argument "but new politicians will steal more" that I hear in Russia from people who protect Putin

It's literally not, wtf.

Do not let any private entity to get overwhelming majority on anything period.

But do not kid yourself that Microsoft will let OpenAI do anything for public once it gets big enough.

OpenAI is open only in name after they rolled back all the promises of being for everyone.

That's my entire point. It's not who, but how long.

Also Microsoft plays both sides here. OpenAI vs copyright is wrong question. There's more: both are status-quo. Both are for keeping corporate ownership of ideas.
