I benefit from invention of a car because I can buy a car and be it's owner and only benefactor
You cannot buy and own ChatGPT as invididual, you will never even be able to inslect its source code.
A car is patent protected. Patents allow me personally to build a car for my personal use. Copyright doesn't allow that.
Patents last 20 years, copyright lasts close to 100, depending on jurisdiction.
The only reason corporations can make insane profits from this tech is because we granted this category of IP insane priviliges and government is spending tax dollars to protect their IP.
Make code like patents - it must be published in a register accessibke by anyone, and loses protections after 20 years.
If you don't register it, then the government will not be prosecuting anyone for using it.
Now we start suing OpenAI into oblivion for copyright infringement (uhhh) when it has trained on text that is under copyright... like artists are doing to Stable Diffusion.
However I believe Art belongs under copyright. It us not functional - our society does not fall apart is a famous piece of art is lost.
However our society does fall apart when key piece of technology is lost, thats why Patents have all these safeguards. Code is functional technology, it is not merely artistic.
I like the suggestion; contrary to physical commodities, however, the usage of derivation of code cannot be proven easily, unless the entire supply chain is rebuilt on, I don’t know, hashes of code fragments and remote attestation?

Suddenly the benefits will be shared
