The decision is a major win for AI companies as legal battles play out over the use and application of copyrighted works in LLMs

This is not the final word on the subject. This is just a court's ruling. Somebody will appeal it.

And it ruled it's okay to train your AI with books under two circumstances. You paid for the book and the so-called AI doesn't imitate the authors' voices. They didn't initially pay for the books so they have another trial to figure out a penalty for that.

And I personally don't buy the no imitation thing. You can make a model that does nothing else but create sloshfic. I think that's what the plaintiffs' lawyers will appeal the decision about.

I got scolded underneath the other post, so I don't know who's right, but isn't there a big "BUT" after the headline? They did not violate copyright with this BUT by stealing/pirating those books and they now have several lawsuits incoming because they stole them and court said that's not "fair" by any definition of what that word means? So it's not outlawing AI training, but they surely didn't get away with the piracy part of it.
