They realise that it’s a satire site, right?

They may or may not, what makes it relevant nonetheless is the real loophole and the ethical/legal questions that ensue.

It’s good that they don’t realize it’s satire, the satire is doing it’s job in getting people to realize how laws need to change around AI code.

Very effective satire. I wish I would have thought of it.

I've been pointing at this problem for at least 2 years now to deaf ears, satire like this will force people to listen.

They built it. They’re making money on it. Is that still satire?

Well, you could do this yourself too… it’s not just an “issue” with AI, but that copyright is not meant to protect against competition forever.

No, but you and someone else could collaborate to do something like it, if both of you had sufficient skill in this area.

And, importantly, it would require a great deal more time and effort.

The current laws are tuned to cost, benefit, difficulty, and volume assumptions that are made outdated by LLMs.
