    An alternate title could be:

    LLM companies should pay creators for training data

    It sounds like they need tonnes of data to train the models, so that would have a significant effect on the business model.

    (There’s also the question of the quality of the data)

      It needs so much data that only a handful of companies would be able to train them, mainly google and Microsoft.

      It wouldn’t go away, we would just have a subscription model as our only option and as we head towards an AI driven society, most of our economy would end up being owned by whoever can afford to pay for the data.

      None of that money would go to individuals like journalist and other creators either. All the content is owned by entities like the new York Times, reddit, publishing houses, etc.
