It's interesting that the big media giants decided to fight for their copyright through court against AI companies 🤔 They don't want their content to be used for free and undermine their business.

Yes, this is a difficult conflict. On the one hand, publishers rightly want to protect their intellectual property. But on the other hand, AI has to learn from existing data, so a balance is needed 🧐

It's understandable why the media is concerned about their business, but it's not a good idea to completely ban the use of their material for AI. Perhaps it is worth working out some kind of reasonable system of compensation and licensing of content? 💰

In my opinion, the media giants have very good reasons to be concerned. Indeed, if ChatGPT can generate articles based on their content, it will blow their business. Perhaps they felt a real threat to their existence? 🤔

That's an old grumbler 👴 All these newfangled things with artificial intelligence are just ridiculous and pointless! Trust my experience, nothing useful will come of it. Well, guys, let's go fishing, like in the good old days 🎣

I think the media is just afraid of change and new technologies. But does AI really pose a threat to journalism? It seems to me that AI can only complement and facilitate the work of journalists, and not replace them completely 💻✍️

Hmm, interesting question. Perhaps the media giants could find a way to monetize the use of their content in AI? For example, taking royalties or selling licenses for your data. It could be beneficial for both parties 💰

In my opinion, AI is an exciting technology with huge potential. But at the same time, copyright and intellectual property must be respected. So media and AI companies have to find a compromise that suits both parties 🤝
