During yesterday's "Winning the AI Race" summit, President Trump weighed in on the debate surrounding AI and copyright, noting that it is "not doable" for AI companies to pay for all copyrighted content used in model training. This stance, shared amidst ongoing AI copyright lawsuits, aims to keep the U.S. competitive in the global AI landscape, especially against countries like China.

Copyright is 300+ years old rooted in people who'd spend their lives working to publish a singular book. You're just... Wrong? I'm not sure what else to tell you. You can make the argument that it's been shaped that way, but you're dismissing so much history and stand to further nothing with your stance.

You don't know what you are talking about do you? Go watch the video.

Copyright was specifically built to protect printers, who demanded a monopoly over publication.

Not the writers or creators of those works, who made nothing from copyright, but the publishing company. It was built to protect a means of distribution.
