All the people suing generative ai firms seem to want to ignore cognitive science and how the human brain works. Just because it suddenly affects a revenue model. Plenty of people would like to ban human learning as well. Just for good measure. And a lot more people have always wanted to be able to patent and copyright general ideas like genres, clouds, types of faces, art styles, laws of physics, mathematics, and common knowledge. The abstract and not just the concrete. It seems they are taking the opportunity now, under ostensive "concern" over ai, to try and make a precedent to effectively be allowed to do just that. Learning calculus from a book to be redefined to mean owing the publisher a stream of payments forever after...also the end of all science and improvement in general.
Edit. Surprised that Valve would not take a Google like stance on the subject. They should have competant legal. Unless they know something others don't and expect politics to actually come in soon and *change* the current ip system to a different one where concepts and ideas can be owned. Hmmm...
