The New York Times Microsoft Litigation Will Likely End In Settlement. Kevin O'Keefe is a keen observer of tech trends, and I agree with his conclusion that the risks are too great for Content Creators and Generative AI not to reach some monetary settlement. AI is too important a tech advancement to allow it to be hampered by lack of access to the world's content and knowledge. The Times' and other content creators work product should not be used for profit by others. Such use is way out of line with the concept of "fair use". This is different than the first years after the invention of search engines like Google. It is the culmination of the application of human knowledge to our problems. Settle quickly, grasshoppers. The world wants and needs AI.
