    I just kind of assumed that they, as well as anyone in the space was doing that already.

    Whether that means that we all collectively have ownership over the outputs of these models if they’re trained on content that we produced over the years is another thing. As someone who uses AI tools a fair bit I would be totally fine with generated content being public domain unless a threshold for human intervention is met.

    That threshold is where the messy legal work lies.
