This is a big red flag for me. They can spin it however they want but this is going to be abused.
The current goal is to make it illegal to train on anything but data you own, immediately guaranteeing Disney and Adobe become the defecto controllers of the market.
The biggest threat of AI is not on individual liberty, but on corporate liberty. Small businesses and individuals can directly compete with billion dollar companies for the first time in history and they will do anything they can to alter that. "Regulation" will be what creates the monster people are afraid of, and be used to destroy the possibilities for "individual liberty" that AI provides.
Most people disagree with me but this is why I'm always arguing we need to weaken IP law. When you have dusty old corporations that "own" so much imaginary property to the degree that it's more valuable than anything they produce today, they need to be broken. Copyright and patents should only be to granted to humans, licensable to others for some period of time that may extend briefly after their death, and then go to public domain. I believed this before the generative AI boom but it's even more important now.
