I can imagine content creators getting paid to feed AI new content, kind of like high skilled mechanical turks. I also agree that dominant forms of digital content monetization suck.
For the usual public content, that 2/3rds number can only arrive through legislation which in typical fashion will be impossible to enforce and mostly just hamstring AI and cost us all an unaccounted fortune. The same authors are probably suspicious of other AI prohibitions, so I'm not sure if they actually think this will work or they're just pumping their token bags.
Information wants to be free whether it's used to train an AI or a human. AI's should pay for good content to encourage it continue being produced but there's no reason to expect AI will behave any differently than the humans operating AI do - the incentives are mostly the same.
what makes you think it will be impossible to enforce the rule of AI companies paying 2/3rd of their revenue to creators?
i look at something like minimum wage rules and figure if the government can pull that off (which they seem to have done with minor exceptions), they can pull this off too.
i do agree that there would be a very significant cost to legislation like this, and it will probably slow down AI innovation for years. i still think it will happen though.
