Any AI model that uses publically available information for training should be open source by law.

This business where corporations (that includes authors, who are published by huge corporations) fight over who "owns" ideas is assinine. When it comes down to it, this is a fight about money being wrapped in an argument about "ideas."

AI models were developed with the collective knowledge and wisdom of society. They're like libraries and should be public like libraries. OpenAI, Google, all those fucks should be forced to open source their models, end of story.
